Yazidi community leaders and Iraqi politicians said that despite the military defeat of the IS, the religious minority attacked and enslaved by the extremists still lives in disarray, mostly in camps and with no security in their still-ruined hometowns. The speakers gathered in Baghdad on Thursday to commemorate five years since the IS attacks, massacring men and enslaving women and children in what has been described as genocide.
