What is Iraq's 1987-1988 Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan?

The Anfal Campaign was the name assigned by Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq, for his genocidal attack on a number of Kurdish tribes in northern Iraq (southern Kurdistan), wherein over 180,000 Kurds were gassed to death.


Who were the perpetrators of the AL-Anfal genocide?

The perpetrators of the AL-Anfal genocide were primarily the Iraqi government forces under the regime of Saddam Hussein, specifically the Iraqi military and security apparatus. This campaign, conducted between 1986 and 1989, targeted the Kurdish population in northern Iraq and aimed to suppress Kurdish nationalist movements. The operation included mass killings, forced displacements, and the use of chemical weapons, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 Kurds.


Were the perpetrators of the genocide against the Iraqi Kurds brought to justice?

Partially. The first major trial against Saddam Hussein was only focused on one particularly large attack perpetrated against Shiite Muslims in the southeast of the country (the Dujail Massacre). As for the Al-Anfal Campaign (which is the "polite" term for the Genocide of Iraqi Kurds), in December 2006 Saddam was put on trial for the genocide during Operation Anfal. The trial for the Anfal campaign was still underway on December 30, 2006, when Saddam Hussein was executed for his role in the unrelated Dujail Massacre. The Anfal trial recessed on December 21, 2006, and when it resumed on January 8, 2007, the remaining charges against Saddam Hussein were dropped since he was now dead. Six co-defendants continued to stand trial for their roles in the Anfal campaign. On 23 June 2007 Ali Hassan al-Majid, and two co-defendants Sultan Hashem Ahmed and Hussein Rashid Mohammed were convicted of genocide and related charges and sentenced to death by hanging. Another two co-defendants (Farhan Jubouri and Saber Abdel Aziz al-Douri) were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one (Taher Tawfiq al-Ani) was acquitted on prosecution's demand. Al-Majid was eventually hanged on 25 January 2010.

How many kurdies were poisenned by husein?

During the Anfal campaign in the late 1980s, Saddam Hussein's regime targeted the Kurdish population in Iraq, resulting in the deaths of thousands. The most infamous incident of chemical warfare occurred in Halabja in March 1988, where an estimated 5,000 Kurds were killed in a single attack.

What does the Holocaust have in common with the Anfal Campaign?

Overview The Anfal campaign began in 1986 and lasted until 1989, and was headed by Ali Hasan al-Majid, a cousin of the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The Anfal campaign included the use of ground offensives, aerial bombing, systematic destruction of settlements, mass deportation, concentration camps, firing squads, and chemical warfare, which earned al-Majid the nickname of "Chemical Ali". Thousands of civilians were killed during chemical and conventional bombardments stretching from the spring of 1987 through the fall of 1988. The attacks were part of a long-standing campaign that destroyed almost every Kurdish village in Iraq -- along with a centuries-old way of life -- and displaced at least a million of the country's estimated 3.5 million Kurdish population. Independent sources estimate 50,000 to more than 100,000 deaths; the Kurds claim about 182,000 people were killed. Amnesty International collected the names of more than 17,000 people who had "disappeared" during 1988. The campaign has been characterized as genocidal in nature, notably before a court in The Hague. It is also characterized as gendercidal, because "battle-age" men were the primary targets, according to Human Rights Watch/Middle East (hereafter, HRW/ME).

What did Iraqi kurds and shiite Muslims want Saddam Hussein to do after the Persian gulf war?

Saddam Hussein had committed numerous atrocities against the Kurds and Shiites, including a genocide against the Kurds (called the Anfal Campaign). As a result they hated him and wanted to punish him. Unfortunately, they had to wait until 2006 to put him on trial for his crimes.
