How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the video and came across old reports carrying this video.
An article by The Washington Times published on 27 June 2017 stated that Vian Dakhil, the Iraqi parliament's Yazidi member, mentioned the atrocities committed by Islamic State terrorists against Yazidis in the war-torn region.
It also states that thousands of Yazidi women and children have been killed or kidnapped by ISIS and 'bred to become sex slaves or suicide bombers'.
Dakhil is also an activist who has organized rescue missions of Yazidi prisoners.
The video is from 2017.
