Exclusive Interview with Iraqi Journalist

Aug. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- 1993 was the middle of the Anfal campaign launched by Saddam Hussein to rid the natural resources rich marshes and wetlands of Kurdistan of its Kurdish population. The Kurds where forcibly removed from their homes, later to be the victims of poison gas and chemical weapons attacks. Dany’s family was part Kurdish. “My father went to visit his mother who was ill. He never came back.”



Aged 15 Dany was waiting, like he did on a Monday, for his father to pick him up from school, “ This was all very hard for me, I was waiting by the gates of the school, but he didn’t come, actually I did not ever see him again. And then we lost everything.”
