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.
The Kurds (an ethnic group) and the Shiite Arabs (a religious group) were the most prominent of Saddam Hussein's ethnic/religious adversaries, but many smaller groups like the Marsh Arabs, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Turcomans (Iraqi Turkmen), the Jews, the Yazidis, Catholics, etc. were also targeted by Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein was a horrible person. He attacked nearly everyone who opposed his reign or was from outside of his Sunni Arab ethnic group. Saddam Hussein repressed the Sunni, Shiite, and Yazidi Kurds because they sought to have an independent country and gain equality with Arab Iraqis. Saddam Hussein preferred to maintain a discriminatory and prejudicial system.
