KURDISH representatives in Iraq called for maximum resistance and an end to international silence today after Turkish missile attacks on refugee camps hit at least 81 targets on Monday morning.

Co-chairs of the democratic institutions of Maxmur, Sengal and Qandil, the camps targeted by Turkey’s devastating assault, warned of genocide against the Kurdish people unfolding before the eyes of the world.

They hit out at the United Nations, Nato and other global organisations for failing to take action or even speak out as Turkey continues to commit atrocities and war crimes against Kurds, both internally and beyond its borders.
