The ISIS campaign to commit genocide on the Yazidi people began seven year ago.In August 2014,#ISIS# fighters brutally invaded the Sinjar region of Iraq and sought to kill the Yazidi population, in an effort to eradicate the small community. In less than two months,ISIS soldiers killed approximately 9,000 Yazidis. These soldiers captured and sold thousands of others into slavery markets across the Levant and regularly used rape as a war weapon.
They forced the Yazidi women to marry ISIS militants, and pregnant women in captivity to abort their future Yazidi children. The horror that unfolded upon the Yazidi people was no accident, as ISIS specifically planned this genocide campaign to eradicate the Yazidi people solely based on religious reasons.[1]
