In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
To the honorable families of the martyrs and the victims of the Anfal campaign,
To the struggling people of Kurdistan at home and in the diaspora,
July 30 marks the anniversary of one of the most heinous crimes committed by the former Iraqi regime against the people of Kurdistan.
In this campaign, eight thousand innocent souls from the Barzan region were brutally abducted, forcibly taken to the deserts, and systematically massacred.
This campaign was a futile attempt to erase the national identity of the Kurdish people.
We, at the Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation (KDC), while honouring the memory of these martyrs with reverence, reaffirm our continued commitment to working toward the international recognition of this crime as an act of genocide.
Our goal is to ensure that history serves as a deterrent to prevent the repetition of such atrocities.
We bow our heads in respect to the pure souls of the martyrs of the Barzan region and all the martyrs of the Kurdish liberation struggle. Salutations to the resilience of the honourable families and relatives of the martyrs.
