Iraqi troops, led by the Baath Party's Saddam Hussein, launched a campaign for ethnic cleansing of Kurds. Kurdish villages were burned down, people were sent to concentration camps and mass executions. Thousands of Kurds disappeared, a great deal was never found while others were excavated from mass graves several years later.
Those who were not murdered were expelled from their homes to other Kurdish or Iraqi cities. The result was, in some cases, that historically Kurdish-dominated cities and villages were emptied of Kurdish residents and instead were inhabited by Arabs. It was in turn a conscious part of ethnic cleansing - replacing Kurds with Arabs.
It is estimated that al-Anfal took up nearly 180,000 Kurds' lives and it is estimated that just over one million were forced to exile.
The bullet was reached on March 16, 1988, when Ali Hassan al-Majid, popularly "chemical Ali," ordered air raids against Halabja with chemical weapons. Nervous and mustard gas bombs were released over the population and resulted in about 5,000 women, men and children losing their lives. In the wake of what came to be one of the world's most worthless and deadly gas attacks against a civilian area, thousands more died of injuries and complications.
