Saddam Hussein's regime engaged in ethnic cleansing primarily during the late 1980s. The most notable instance was the Anfal campaign, which took place from 1986 to 1989, targeting the Kurdish population in northern Iraq. This campaign involved mass killings, forced displacements, and the destruction of villages, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Kurds. The actions were driven by a desire to suppress Kurdish nationalism and consolidate control over the region.
