Yazidi community offered return 10 years on from Isis massacre

LEADERS of the Yazidi community have announced plans for an internationally funded new village in Iraq to prompt survivors of the Islamic State (Isis) genocide a decade ago to return home.

In 2014, Kocho was decimated by the jihadist group. Hundreds of Yazidi men and boys were separated from their families and massacred, while women and children were abducted and many were raped or enslaved.

The village was one of many in the wider Sinjar region where the Isis terrorists massacred Yazidis.
