VOA Kurdish: Monument for Anfal victims delayed in Kurdistan region of Iraq


A planned monument for Anfal victims in Kurdistan's Garmyan district, designed by Mexican and German artists based on survivors' stories, remains unbuilt due to funding delays. The German Cooperation Organization pledged $1 million for the $2 million project, but the Kurdistan Regional Government has yet to provide its share. Activists and officials call for a monument that reflects the scale of the Anfal tragedy, with over 500 victims buried in the area, but disagreements and delays persist.
