‘I lost all hope’ graves and memories after killings at Sinjar

Mass graves dot the picturesque plains and gently rolling hills that stretch south from Mount Sinjar, an area where members of Iraq’s minority Yazidi group have lived for centuries. Around 1,300 Yazidis were killed by ISIL here, estimates Hussein Kasim Hassoon, who heads efforts by the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) to document the extremists’ crimes against the Yazidis.
