Eve Ensler | Yazidi Activist Nadia Murad Speaks Out on the 'Holocaust' of Her People in Iraq
Eve Ensler, TIME
Ensler writes: "Today is the two-year anniversary of the Sinjar Massacre in northern Iraq. On that date it is estimated that 10,000 Yazidis were killed or enslaved. In the recent Chilcot inquiry in Britain on the war in Iraq, intelligence reports show that ISIS 'was formed during the Iraq war of 2003 as the country and its institutions were dismantled and disenfranchised Iraqis were led to sectarianism.' This makes the West, particularly the U.S. and U.K., accountable for the crimes that have followed."
