Baghdad-INA
Al-sudani addressed the heinous crimes and atrocities committed by ISIS terrorist gangs against the Yazidi and other Iraqi communities, resulting in the loss of thousands of innocent lives. 

The Prime Minister said in his speech during a memorial ceremony marking the ninth anniversary of the Yazidi genocide, which was received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA),"The Prime Minister honored the memory of all the martyrs of Iraq."

 The Prime Minister highlighted the government's efforts to support Iraqi Yazidi citizens, including the enactment of the Yazidi Survivors Law, resolving the long-neglected issue of land ownership registration, expediting compensation for the affected, and creating humanitarian conditions to encourage displaced individuals to return to their homes. 

Highlights from Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani's Speech Commemorating the Yazidi Genocide Anniversary.

Iraqis endured terrorism, resulting in the loss of innocent lives, particularly among the honorable Yazidi community. 

They bravely gave thousands of martyrs, countless orphans, and missing individuals. 

Nine years ago, the terrorist gangs invaded the areas near Sinjar, targeting safe villages like Kocho and its surrounding neighborhoods, committing unspeakable atrocities. 

ISIS began digging mass graves, emulating the practices of the dictatorial regimes. 

When harm befell their Yazidi brothers and other components facing terrorism, all Iraqis united and rose up in solidarity. 

From the very first day the government took office, we have been dedicated to implementing the Yazidi Survivors Law. 

Each crime and assault against a free Iraqi Yazidi woman echoes in the conscience of humanity, condemning all those who supported terrorism, whether through words, deeds, or services. 

Some countries and deviant parties were involved in this treacherous crime, seeking harm for Iraq, but their efforts ended in disappointment. 

The armed forces of all branches continue to stand strong, confronting terrorists and relentlessly pursuing them, no matter where they hide or try to escape. 

The government has finally addressed the long-neglected issue of residential lands and homes for the Yazidi residents, resolving the problem that persisted since 1975. 

We actively encouraged the displaced individuals to return to their homes, providing them with improved humanitarian conditions to support their return. 

Service and Engineering Teams, along with social workers, have mobilized to provide essential services to the returning residents in their regions. 

Efforts are still ongoing to open the mass graves and search for those who disappeared and were forcibly taken away. 

The security and competent services are relentlessly tracking down every missing person, working tirelessly to liberate every kidnapped individual. 

The Sinjar and Nineveh Plains Reconstruction Fund has been incorporated into the three-year federal budget, and directives have been issued to streamline procedures for disbursing compensation to families that have martyrs and wounded members, as well as compensating for property losses. 

Kocho will soon shine brightly again through a comprehensive project aimed at rebuilding the village with all its essential civil services. 

The Council of Ministers has officially approved the first Wednesday of April as a holiday for the Iraqi Yazidi community, recognizing and celebrating their rich cultural presence as a valuable component of our diverse Iraqi culture. 

Indeed, what the government offers in this regard is not a favor, but a reaffirmation of rights and a fulfillment of its duty. It demonstrates a commitment to establishing principles of equality and providing relief to the oppressed.

 Some individuals deliberately insult religions and holy books, believing such acts will stirs up strife easily. 
Their motives and the motives of those backing them are very questionable.
