The anti-Kurdish "Anfal" campaign, mounted between
February and September 1988 by the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, was both
genocidal and gendercidal in nature. "Battle-age" men were the
primary targets of Anfal, according to Human Rights Watch/Middle East (hereafter,
HRW/ME). The organization writes in its book Iraq 's Crime of Genocide: "Throughout
Iraqi Kurdistan, although women and children vanished in certain clearly
defined areas, adult males who were captured disappeared en masse. ... It is
apparent that a principal purpose of Anfal was to exterminate all adult males
of military service age captured in rural Iraqi Kurdistan" (pp. 96, 170). Only
a handful survived the execution squads.
