The international community must call out the atrocities Erdogan’s military forces are sustaining against vulnerable minority groups.
On February 6, the remains of 104 Yazidis killed in northern Iraq by the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2014 were brought home and laid to rest in the village of Kojo. These Yazidis were killed six years ago when ISIS forces viciously attacked Iraq’s northern province of Sinjar. The Yazidis who attempted to flee to a nearby mountain range were besieged by ISIS militants and tortured or murdered.
