Zumar Subdistrict

Iraq / Ninawa / Tall Afar /
 draw only border, subdistrict, third-level administrative division

Zumar is a district of Ninawa Governorate.
Some Zummar interlocutors claimed to UNAMI that the subdistrict was not included in Duhok governorate when it was created by Republican Decree no. 1066 of 1969 because its land was required for the construction of the Mosul Dam. UNAMI was unable to confirm this, and Zummar has continuously been part of Tal Afar district and administered by Ninewa governorate in records going back to the 1932.
Kurdish interlocutors provided UNAMI with documentation of the destruction of Kurdish villages and the forced displacement of 3,000 to 5,000 families from Zummar beginning in late 1974.
