@mahmmod.al.aboud: #syria🇸🇾 #türk #kurdstan #fyp #iraq Under Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Kurds faced severe persecution. In 1988, the Iraqi government carried out the Anfal campaign against Kurdish areas. Many villages were destroyed and large numbers of people were killed or displaced. One of the most infamous events was: Halabja — 1988 Iraqi forces used chemical weapons against the city of Halabja. Thousands of people were killed. Halabja remains one of the most important symbols of the persecution of Iraqi Kurds.
