On 12th Feb 2019, a team of Charmo
University visited the remaining places of Anfal in (Sarqalla village) near
Sangaw area. The team was supervised by Dr. Omed Qadr Ameen, the Dean of the
Research Center. Dr. Talar Salar, the head of the Research Center for Crimes of
Anfal and Genocide. Dr. Huner Ameen, professor of international crimes, and the
employees of the research Center for Crimes of Anfal and Genocide. Also, some
of the residents and witnesses of Anfal were there. This place was
an Iraqi military place that belonged to Baas Regime. In 1988, the people of
the villages near this area were arrested by Iraqi Regime and they were sent to
prison for a while. Then, they were taken to Chamchamal, Topzawa, and Nwgra
Salman prisons. After that, they were buried alive in the deserts of Samawa,
Nwgra Salman and Ar-Ar just because they were Kurdish. For this reason, Charmo
University attempts to Check the traces of Anfal and then do scientific
research on them. These remnants must be protected and preserved because they
are evidences of those atrocious crimes that were committed against the Kurds. Dr. Huner,
professor of international crimes, stated that these crimes is similar to the
Nazi's plans against the Jews in the Second World War. Iraqi Regime's plan was
to destroy a large area in a shortest time. He also mentioned that these places
are good resources for the researchers to do their researches in these areas.
Luckily, Charmo University has a research center to investigate these crimes. Also
we intend to visit other areas of Kurdistan that have been destroyed by Iraqi
Regime.
It’s also worth mentioning that Sarqalla village is
located in the south of Sangaw area of Chamchamal- Sulaimaniya city.
