(International Christian Concern) August marks the sixth anniversary of ISIS’ capture of Iraq’s Nineveh Plains, igniting the start of their genocide of against Christians and Yazidis. Hundreds of thousands of Christians and Yazidis were driven from their homes, with thousands more killed or enslaved.
Although ISIS was declared militarily defeated in late 2017, Christians and Yazidis remain deeply impacted by the trauma of genocide. Most emigrated. Those who remain in Iraq are afraid to return home and remain displaced.
