Speaker Rewas Faiq and MPs visit Chamchamal to honour Anfal victims

Kurdistan Parliament Speaker Dr. Rewas Faiq, accompanied by several MPs and Governor of Slemani Haval Abubakir, on 14 April laid flowers on the grave of a victim of the Anfal operations in the town of Chamchamal.

The Mayor of Chamchamal thanked Speaker Faiq and the MPs, who pledged to raise with the government the need for more services for Chamchamal. They also said that they will scrutinise the process to repatriate remains of Anfal victims from mass graves to their final resting place.

The Anfal (spoils of war, booty) was name that the former Iraqi Ba'ath regime gave to their campaign of genocide against the Kurds in the 1980s.
