A girl takes part in a celebration of the Yazidi New Year on April 15, 2015, at the holy shrine of Lalish, 57 kilometers (35 miles) north of militant-held Mosul, Iraq, as thousands gather to mark their first new year since Islamic State militants swept through the area last summer. "My wish for the new year, according to our traditions, we firstly wish the best to other nations, then we ask God to give every human being a decent life," said Luqman Soleiman, 45, a teacher at the temple in Lalish.
