More than twenty thousand Kurds died from cold, hunger, and diseases in that horrible
exodus, not to mention those killed by Iraqi troops

Tens of thousands of Kurdish people fled their homes and headed to mountains
in fear of Iraqi regime's use of chemical bombs.

Kurds who upraised against Iraqi regime's dictator were crashed to death only three weeks
after defeated Iraqi army returned from Kuwait under the watchful eyes of the World.
