Changes for December 21, 2014 Update: On December 20 and 21, Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga “in coordination” with Syrian Kurdish YPG forces and Iraqi Yazidi �ghters entered the center of Sinjar district in western Ninewa province. These forces are now clashing with the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and have reportedly cleared some areas in the city. Therefore, ISW is updating the status of Sinjar.
