Anfal genocide was a campaign against the Kurds in
1980s. It was aimed at the elimination of the Kurds
in Iraq, by destroying and burning Kurdish villages
down. Killing and burying alive the people of these
villages. It cost over 200,000 lives of innocent
Kurds.
The media channels have not yet been invited to
publish the unearthing of these three ‘out of
hundreds of’ mass graves. We will soon invite the
Arabic as well as other foreign media and officially
announce the discovery, added Amin.
“We were jailed in a prison in Dubiz for a while.
The only thing we knew then was that of, our crime
was being a Kurd. In Dubiz they separated us into
men, women and children” Bafraw,www.ekurd.netan
Anfal survivor told Hawler Tribune, “Amanj, my 7
year old son, before taken away was very sick, I
asked if I could go with him. They [soldiers] told
me, do not worry we will put an end to his sickness,
I know how they did it”
Kurds know all their beloved Anfaled ones are dead
somewhere in the deserts of Iraq. All they are
awaiting for is the return of their remnants. As
said Bafraw “Ever since then I have been waiting for
him”
A group of experts from ministry of Anfaled and
Martyrs are to excavate these graves soon. The
graves hold remnants of 272 children and the oldest
one among them is a 16 year old girl. A pregnant
woman is also among them, added Amin.
