Used but in very good condition

“The Anfal Campaign in Iraqi Kurdistan: The Destruction of Koreme” is a significant work that sheds light on a tragic chapter in history. Here are some key points:

• Author: Middle East Watch
• Publication Date: July 9, 2009 (paperback edition)
• Content: The book focuses on the Anfal campaign, a systematic effort by the Iraqi government to eradicate the Kurdish population in northern Iraq.
• Specific Case: It provides a detailed account of the devastation inflicted upon a single Kurdish village, Koreme, during the Anfal campaign.
• Genocidal Implications: While the book doesn’t directly prove genocide, it highlights the severity of crimes committed against the Kurds and suggests that the Anfal campaign may constitute genocide under the Genocide Convention.

The Anfal campaign involved large-scale atrocities, including murders, disappearances, and forcible relocations. Koreme’s experience serves as a microcosm of the broader tragedy faced by thousands of other villages in Iraqi Kurdistan.
