As a result of Hatim Darwesh Ido’s efforts in support of Coalition Forces and the Government of Iraq, he has placed himself and his family in daily mortal danger. He and his family will likely endure retribution from civic leaders or government officials that his relationship with Coalition Forces have been at odds with; resulting in brutality or death upon the final withdraw of Coalition Forces from the area he and his family reside (Sinjar).
