Detailed explanation-1: -The Kurds were not given their own homeland, which has left the Kurdish people vulnerable to extreme persecution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many conflicts also occur within the Muslim sects in Southwest Asia. As a result of European partitioning after WWI, Sunni and Shia Muslims, who were often rivals, were now forced to get along together in one country (Iraq). The two religious groups have fought for power in Iraq for decades.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Kurdish genocide was mounted between February and September 1988 on the winding up of the Iran-Iraq war. Central to the atrocities that were perpetrated against Iraqi Kurds was the Anfal campaign.
