Erbil, Kurdistan Region (GOV.KRD) – Prime Minister Masrour Barzani today issued the following statement on the 38th anniversary of the Anfal Genocidal campaign in Badinan:
On the anniversary of the notorious Anfal campaign in Badinan, we remember all the victims of this inhuman crime. During the final stage of this campaign of genocide, the former Iraqi regime killed and abducted thousands of innocent people from the different communities of the Badinan region and destroyed hundreds of villages, resulting in the displacement of tens of thousands of people.
We once again call on the federal government of Iraq to compensate the families of all victims of the Anfal genocide, the chemical attacks, and all those who fell victim to the former regime. The KRG reaffirms its commitment to continue to support the families of the martyrs and Anfal victims.
May the souls of the victims of the Anfal Genocide and all the martyrs of Kurdistan rest in eternal peace.
