Starving Mother Her 3-Y-O Child; Yazidis Blame Obama's Inaction for Ongoing
Atrocities
More than 200 elderly and infirm
Yazidis were freed on Wednesday by Islamic State militants who had been holding
them captive since overrunning their villages in northwestern Iraq last summer.
A Yazidi community member has shared
a gruesome story where one mother captured by the Islamic State terror group
was told she ate the meat of her own toddler. The Yazidis have been speaking
out about the atrocities they continue suffer at the hands of IS, and have
criticized President Obama for not doing enough to help them.
Vian Dakhil spoke with Politico on Wednesday
and explained that as many as 2,200 Yazidi women and girls have been kidnapped
by IS and are being used a sex slaves. Another 420,000 Yazidis are living in
refugee camps, which includes thousands of orphans who have no home.
Dakhil shared one particularly
horrifying story, where IS fighters forced a starving mother to eat the meat of
her own child, or at least told her so.
"One of the mothers calls me …
she said 'for two days the ISIS doesn't give me any food' and they separated
her children. One of them is 3 years and another is 5 years, after two days
they give her rice with meat. After she's eating, she tell her this is your boy
— 3 years," Dakhil said.
"She tells me please, I can't,
I don't know what can I do — I'm eating my son. This is what happened with
those woman under ISIS control and nobody cares."

Yazidis, Christians, and other
minorities have suffered greatly under the rule of the self-proclaimed Islamic
Caliphate, which has captured signification territory across Iraq and Syria.
The U.S. and a broad coalition of
international allies have been hitting IS targets with airstrikes. One large
rescue operation back in August 2014 saved thousands of Iraqi Yazidis who were
trapped on a mountainside being pursued by IS fighters.
Dakhil said that despite the
humanitarian effort back then, many Yazidis now feel abandoned by the U.S.
government. She said that letters to the White House pleading for more support
have gone unanswered.
Dakhil and her sister, Deelan
Dakhil, are looking to set up a U.S.-based charitable foundation to raise money
for Yazidi refugees.
Another Yazidi woman said in a CNN
report earlier this week that hundreds of women and girls are committing suicide rather than be
subjected to sex slavery by the jihadists.
"We just want them to be
rescued," Ameena Saeed Hasan said. "Hundreds of girls have committed
suicide.
"I have some pictures of the
girls who have committed suicide ... when they lose hope for rescue and when
ISIS many times sell them and rape them ... I think there is maybe 100. We lost
contact with most of them," she added.
