The Execution of 4 Young Kurds Four Kurdish boys under the age of 18 were executed by the hands of the Iraqi Arab Ba'ath regime in 1986. The members of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard executed them 'to set an example'. The Kurdish Peshmerga inflicted heavy casualties on the Iraqi Army. Resorting into genocide and mass murder of civilians, was the Arabs' last hope to suppress the Kurdish uprising. The Arabs failed. This is rare footage of the 1986 execution in Hewler (Erbil), South-Kurdistan. In this video, we witness how the victims say goodbye to their families, how their homes get destroyed, and how the Arabs celebrate their death. The families of the victims, had to pay for the bullets used to kill their sons. This was just one of thousands of executions. This was the prelude to the Al-Anfal Genocide, in which 182,000 Kurdish civilians were buried alive, gassed or shot death (1986-1988). The Syrian Ba'ath Party, the party of Bashar Al-Assad, shares the same ideology as the Iraqi Ba'ath Army under leadership of Saddam Hussain. The way the Syrian Ba'ath Party ruled and controlled Syria is identical to the Iraqi Ba'ath Party. Many Kurds have been oppressed and persecuted by the Syrian Ba'ath Party, but the Iraqi Ba'ath Party was the most brutal and all. Hundreds of thousands of Kurds were killed under Saddam's tyranny (Al-Anfal Genocide, which started in 1986). Over 5,000 Kurdish villages were destroyed. ----- The Kurdistan Liberation Front focuses on creating more awareness for the Kurdish cause.
