The Anfal Campaign occurred this year and was once again a campaign to wipe out the Kurds that were still left. This was probably one of the worst reigns of destructions out of all that occurred up until this point. Everything and anything that had any relation to the Kurdish culture was destroyed down to their foundations. Nothing was sacred and nothing was left untouched. 1200 villages were destroyed; 182,000 people were killed. By the end of it all, the total number of Kurds that were “cleansed” had surpassed 300,000 in more than 4,000 villages.
