| [EN.ALGHADEER.TV] Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi vowed to seriously search for the Kidnapped Yezidis and turn it into an international effort to return them to their families. "Al-Kadhimi received a delegation of Yezidi survivors from Sinjar district, the village of Kuju and the surrounding areas," PM’s office said in a statement received by al-Ghadeer. Al-Kadhimi recalled the brutal crime against the Yezidis on that fateful day, the third of August 2014, by the ISIS terrorist gangs, and the difficult conditions they lived in after occupying their areas and villages. " The Prime Minister emphasized that "what happened to the Yezidis constituted an Iraqi pain that will not be repeated, a heinous crime that attracted the attention and sympathy of world public opinion, just as the whole world stood with their cause for the horrors they were exposed to." Al-Kadhimi pledged to "seriously search for the Kidnapped Yezidi, and turn it into an international effort in order to return them to their families," stressing that "justice must take its course." The third Monday of August marks the sixth anniversary of the attack by the terrorist organization ISIS against the Sinjar district and the surrounding areas, and its genocide against Yezidis there. |
