Yazidi genocide anniversary serves as grim reminder of Daesh’s crimes against humanity
Arab News says August 3, Yazidis around the world will come together to mourn their brothers, sisters, parents, and other loved ones who were massacred by Daesh eight years ago.
It was on that fateful day in 2014 that Daesh hordes invaded the historic Yazidi homeland, Sinjar, in Iraq. The terrorist group murdered 1,268 people on the first day; and throughout the weeks that followed, 6,417 Yazidis were kidnapped, 3,548 of whom were women and underage girls who were thrown into sexual slavery and forced labor.
The entire community fled, seeking safety in the mountains of Sinjar. More than 65 percent of Yazidis became displaced.
