Children of Iraq’s Islamic State rape victims in limbo
2018-06-27
Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) Hundreds of children born for Iraqi victims of rape by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
are facing a murky future, according to a local paramilitary commander from the religious ethnicity.

Murad Sheikh Kalu, a commander of the Yazidi mobilization force, told Almaalomah website on Tuesday that "most of Yazidi women kidnapped and raped by Islamic State turbans gave birth to babies after their release".

"Those children are in hundreds, and are of unknown parentage, they are facing an unknown fate, which is a great danger|, Kalu said.

"While some of them are held by their mothers, others are being shifted among camps and orphanages," he revealed.

He urged the Iraqi government to "take urgent measures to contain those children, legalize their conditions and embrace them instead of leaving them to the street," as he put it.

Islamic State massacred and enslaved thousands of Yazidis, among other Iraqis, when they overran a third of Iraq in 2014.

According to the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
, thousands of Yazidi men and boys remain missing and the terrorist group continues to subject some 3,000 women and girls in Syria to violence.
