Wikipedia Overview
Since the US-led invasion of Iraq, there have been reports of Iranian-backed Iraqi Shia militias supported by the Iraqi central government indiscriminately killing Sunni Arabs. In 2005, the post-Saddam Iraqi government that came to be dominated by Shia political parties was accused of operating death squads intending to commit genocide. Such reports intensified during the Iraqi civil war from 2006 to 2008 and the War in Iraq from 2014 to 2017 against the Islamic State. Peshmerga and Asayish have also "prosecuted, detained and tortured" Iraqi Sunni Arabs. According to an Amnesty International report, attacks conducted by Shia militias against Sunni civilians were carried out "driven by revenge" for previous attacks committed by Sunni ISIS against Shia civilians. There have also been reports of Yazidi militias targeting Sunni Arab civilians after the Yazidi genocide.
