THE genocide of the Kurdish people must be recognised as one of the worst crimes against humanity, a senior Iraqi Kurdish official told the Morning Star today.
As Kurds and others marked the 33rd anniversary of the Anfal campaign by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime, Garmian regional governor Jalal Nuri said the atrocities of the late 1980s should not be forgotten.
On Wednesday, hundreds of survivors and relatives of the 182,000 Kurds who were killed in the most cruel and brutal way by Iraqi forces gathered to honour the memory of their loved ones at a ceremony organised by Anfal survivors’ organisations.
