This month marks the 30th anniversary of a remarkable humanitarian action, known as Operation Provide Comfort, led by the United States, the UK and France, which saved hundreds of thousands of Kurds who had fled the genocidal actions of Saddam Hussein in 1991.
Following the Kurdish uprising against the dictator in March 1991, Hussein used his helicopter gunships and tanks to attack the people who had risen up against his regime. Fearing that Hussein would use chemical weapons again, up to 2 million Kurds fled to border mountains of Turkey and Iran, where they were stranded, facing death from exposure to the elements, malnutrition and disease.
It seemed that all hope was lost, when Operation Provide Comfort was launched in early April to provide emergency humanitarian assistance and eventually protection as well. The United States was instrumental in launching the operation and establishing the no-fly zone that shielded Kurdistan from Hussein for the next decade.
This bold and brave military-humanitarian operation was a turning point in Iraqi Kurdistan’s fortunes. After suffering decades of oppression, genocide and environmental destruction, for the first time, the people of Kurdistan found protection and grasped the opportunity to create a region that is today an example of stability, peaceful coexistence and a safe haven for those fleeing conflict.
Speakers • Hon. Fadhil Mirani, Secretary of the Political Bureau, Kurdistan Democratic Party • Hon. Hoshyar Zebari, former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister • Hon. James A. Baker, III, former US Secretary of State • Hon. Dana Stroul, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, US Department of Defense • General John Abizaid, retired, United States Army • General Jay Garner, retired, United States Army • General James Jones, retired, United States Marine Corps • Hon. Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, Kurdistan Regional Government Representative to the United States
