It was previously thought that the Kurdish girls were sold to Arabs in Iraq and other Arab countries, particularly the Gulf States. However, a recently located document suggests that the girls, captured as part of the Anfal campaign were instead sold to brothels in Egypt. The document was found during the collapse of Saddam’s rule in Iraq and was published, for the first time, by KurdishMedia. Anfal was a operation of genocide against the Kurdish people that occurred with the knowledge of the United Nations, the United States, and all Arab states and international communities. It was carried out by the Arab Baath Socialist Party in Iraq, led by Arab Tikritis from the village Oja. The document proves the Arab dimension of the Anfal campaign, thereby raising several questions which could place additional strain on Kurdish-Arab relations. Were other Arab states involved in the campaign and did they help to conceal the evidence? Until these questions are answered to the satisfaction of the Kurdish people, Kurdish-Arab relations should be placed on hold. Kurds should not deal with any Arab state, least of all with Egypt. Furthermore, Kurds should join their voices in pressuring the United Nations to launch an effective search for the missing Kurdish girls. Kurds should also demand immediate action from the Kurdish administration which has, to this point, failed to contact Egypt and enquire about the document’s findings. It is their duty and they must be held accountable. Perhaps the most compelling voices come from the surviving relatives of the missing girls. Several of them have been kind enough to share their reactions on the news of Egypt’s involvement. Abdul Qadir Aziz the brother of one of the girls named in the list said: "When I saw the document, I found the name of my sister, Ismat Qadir Aziz. I was deeply shocked. I cried for my sister, for the girls of Garmiyan [Kurdistan province where the girls were taken from] and for the Kurds are without friends. I cried for the complex situation that we are in. This has revealed more about the substance of the Iraqi Arab Baath Party, which was dangerously programmed to destroy the personality of Kurdish females, and to destroy Kurds psychologically and socially. Thirty members of my family have disappeared without a trace. After 16 years, now I know what happened to my sister." Basharat Amin Hamza said: "Fourteen members of my family have disappeared since Anfal the III. Among the names in the document, I saw the name of my sister Hasiba Amin Hamza and my both of my nieces Najiba Hasal Ali and Shiler Hasan Ali. Also I saw the name of my sister-in-law [the wife of my bother] Hasiba Hasan Hidayat Ibrahim. I am not a writer. I do not know how to express this unique tragedy. Since I have seen the document, I tell myself that I wish it would have been published earlier. Without knowing what I say, I talk to my lost sister, nieces and sister-in-law. I shall always remember their innocence and purity. I shall always remember their fine values and their personalities. I can hear their endless suffering of their deep wounds. It is a pity that we are on two parallel lines; we will never meet up. What sort of logic is this?" Khayrullah Abdullah Tofiq: "I saw the name of my sister Khorasan Abdullah Tofiq and my two nieces Chiman Nazim Abbas and Layle Abbas Jawhar." Other names in the list: Khawla Ahmad Fakhradin is from Nawjul. According to the document 10 girls are from the Kurdish village of Nawjul and the rest are from other villages around Garmiyan Kurdistan province. It is the duty of the Kurdish administration to bring this issue to the attention of the international community. They should formally write to the Egyptian government, to the Coalition provisional Government and the UN authorities. It is also the duty of the US and Britain to set up a commission to investigate these damaging allegations. It is the duty and the mandate of the UN Security Council to preserve international security.
