SURVIVORS of dictator Saddam Hussein’s genocidal campaigns, in which nearly 200,000 Kurds were massacred, accused the ruling party in Iraqi Kurdistan today of harbouring war crime collaborators.

They were angered over a statement by Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official Kakamin Najar, in which he explained many of those who played a role in the atrocities are still living in Iraqi Kurdistan.

“These criminals now live in Kurdistan and are allegedly remorseful for participating in genocide crimes against our people,” Hawre Peshwar told the Morning Star.
