The cruel poison-gas attacked Saddam Hussein against the own Kurdishe people remain unforgettably Essay From RUDEDI SUTER Translated from Germany by Khalid Shaida /Hannover 01.05.08 Also the resistance growing world-wide against a foreseeable American attack- war in the Iraq does a cruel genocide of Saddam Hussein in the own country unforgettably: 15 years ago, the Iraqi dictator tried to wipe out the Kurd-city Halabja with the quiet toleration of the west in the North-Iraq with poison-gas. Against 7'000 children, women and children died an agonizing death.
The probably worst poison-gas-attack since the World War II took place precisely 15 years ago. In the visor of the bombers, the city Halabja lay in Irakisch- Kurdistan. Between 3'200 and 7'000 Kurdish children, women and men came between the 16. and 18. March 1988 in the bombardment of the Iraqi air force miserably about the life. Approximately 10'000 people became badly injured. The photo of a Kurdish father, the " Saddam launched poison-gas - Would attack on 200 Iraqi Kurden-Dörfers ". with his/its dead child in the arm before his/its house had collapsed, went around the world. Later examinations showed that the victims of the city counting approximately 40'000 inhabitants had been wiped out at the border to the Iran with nerves - and mustard-gas or had partly been damaged for life. It was the same poison-gas- cocktail, with which already the Iraqi armed forces the inhabitants of other approximately 200 Kurdish villages eingenebelt and agonizingly had killed. Dictator Saddam used in the, first, Gulf war against the Iran (1980-1988) equally also the opportunity, to proceed brutally against the rebellious Kurd in the own country once more. To the alternation with poison-gas. And this under the eyes of the silent west and the American government. Men, who have that sagas directly or indirectly today again, was in charge of this: President George Bush Senior, Vice-president Richard Cheney, and Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld .
As bosom-friends were still Saddams US-Feinde
The trio paid court to the potentate so odious today at the Tigris at that time, armed him/it massively and supported him/it against the army of the revolution- leader Khomeini attacked from the Iraq. Petted so, Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait two years later - in the opinion, the USA supported him/it. The so surprised government-trio of Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld carried out stattdessen a tight turnabout however. Without delay, the Iraqi president turned into the villain from Baghdad, who has them/her/it thousands Kurdish dead persons of Halabja on the conscience doubt-freely. However not only the USA made possible it for Saddam Hussein to start C-Waffen. Mitbeteiligts were also many European states, under whatever Switzerland. You/they all allowed it the Iraqi ruler and
" documents incriminates Dictator Saddam heavily ". or substances as so-called Dual-use-Güter - civilian and in a military manner usable technologies -, to produce chemical arms.
So, at least 60 German companies had taken part in the construction of the Iraqi Giftgasindustrie, under them the two Hessian businesses Karl Kolb Ltd. and pilot Plant, who had advanced above all the construction of the poison-gas- installations in the Iraqi Samarra. The " society for threatened people " (GfbV) had already accused these companies to carry for the annihilation of thousands Kurd and Christian Assyrians responsibility in April 1987 publicly. Thin into the darkness, which Kurdish Peshmergases (freedom-fighter) had carried off robbed also of the four million documents of the Saddam-regime later.
The papers became Rights Watch from the international human right- organization humanely and taken from Kurdish Menschenrechtlern under the magnifying glass. It refuted not only the protection-claims of the Iraq and the USA, that would have Khomeini-Truppen, tried to wipe out Halabja with cyanide: You/they show that the Anfal-Offensive " guided " by Giftgasbombardements had enforced Ali Hassan Al-Majid, the cousin of the Iraqi dictator, 1986 to 1988 against the Kurdish population. A report of the UN held moreover solidly, the poison-gas-attacks have been " so terrible and from so huge scope that is " to be found only few precedents since the World War II.
But-thousands of Kurd and Assyrians murdered
Survivor victims in the Kurdish settlements was liquidated. Became hundred thousand of Kurdish and Assyrian civilians from the water-reaches mountains into the Iraqi waste-areas driven, ten-thousands of them with mass-shootings executed. According to Kurdish statements, but also after estimations of the GfbV and other human right-organizations, the number of the " Anfal"-Toten only already lies with 180'000. altogether was allowed to the terror-regime the since over 25 years at the gearshifts of the power sedentary " still today dies the victims at skin-damages and leukemia ". Saddam Hussein in accordance with different estimations against one million people the life has cost.
Also in Halabja, people still die today constantly according to information of doctors of the consequences of the murderous poison-gas-attack 15 years ago. The causes of death are called skin-damages, illnesses of the respiration-organs and leukemia beforehand. Also the blindness is far dispersed - and with the children in the concerned region occurs increasingly often deformities. Has become for the Kurd Halabja with his/its indefinitely seeming and not assessable consequences of the poison-gas-attack to the " Hiroshima of the middle east " so.
