Atrocities committed against Yazidis must not be forgotten, says Development Minister Müller
03.08.2020 - Six years ago, the group calling itself Islamic State began its atrocities against Yazidi people in Iraq. On the anniversary of the sad events, German Development Minister Gerd Müller stated: "Yazidi women and men have gone through immeasurable suffering. Girls and women were raped, enslaved and forced into marrying IS terrorists. 360,000 Yazidis were displaced from their home region. Most of the displaced are still living in camps for internally displaced people in northern Iraq – one third of the entire community." more Atrocities committed against Yazidis must not be forgotten, says Development Minister Müller
