Detailed explanation-1: -The Kurds were divided between Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq. These countries are uneasy with the vibrant ethnic group and attempt to rule them with an iron fist. The Kurds were not given their own homeland, which has left the Kurdish people vulnerable to extreme persecution.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Iraqi–Kurdish conflict consists of a series of wars and rebellions by the Kurds against the central authority of Iraq during the 20th century, which began shortly after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I and lasting until the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Kurdish–Turkish conflict is an armed conflict between the Republic of Turkey and various Kurdish insurgent groups who have either demanded separation from Turkey to create an independent Kurdistan, or attempted to secure autonomy and greater political and cultural rights for Kurds inside the Republic of Turkey.
Detailed explanation-5: -The campaign targeted rural Kurds because its purpose was to eliminate Kurdish rebel groups and Arabize strategic parts of the Kirkuk Governorate. Although mostly Kurds suffered from it, a significant amount of Iraqi Turkmen, Assyrians, Shabaks, and others were also victims of it.
