Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, recalled the Halabja Chemical attack on Saturday March 16, 2024, and stated that the world must bow down to Halabja.
DPM Talabani's message to Halabja said:
"Halabja..
Today. the world must bow down to you.
Halabja represents more than just martyrdom and sacrifice. Today, the whole world sees that Halabja is a thriving city that is eyeing a bright future, while the most brutal Kurdish-killing regime has been thrown into the dustbin of history.
Greeting to the souls of the martyrs of Halabja and all the martyrs of our people."
Note* On March 16, 1988, the warplanes of Iraq's previous Ba'ath regime, led by dictator Saddam Hussein, dropped a deadly mixture of chemical weapons on the city of Halabja. This attack resulted in the deaths of at least 5,000 individuals, predominantly women and children, and caused injuries to hundreds of others. The Halabja chemical attack, officially acknowledged as an act of genocide by Iraq's High Court in 2010, has indelibly marked the collective memory of the Kurdish people. The attack was a component of a broader Anfal genocide operation, which resulted in the death of more than 182,000 Kurds under the rule of the Baathist state.
