The chairman of the Yazidi Supreme Spiritual Council and leader of the Yazidi community in Iraq and the world, Mir Hazim Tahsin Saeed, issued a statement on Friday expressing “his happiness with the killing of the leader of the ISIS terrorist organization.”
“The terrorist ISIS leader had a major and negative role in kidnapping Yazidi women and killing men,” he said, thanking the US, Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) for their efforts in fighting ISIS.
Nadia Murad, human rights activist, founder of Nadia’s Initiative, and survivor of ISIS-captivity, also welcomed the raid, commenting that it served to remind ISIS victims and survivors worldwide that they have “not been forgotten by the international community.“
