WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan24) - Nina Shea, Director of Religious Freedom Center at the Hudson Institute, told Kurdistan24 on Thursday that the US should recognize the on-going genocide in Iraq committed by the Islamic State (IS) against the minorities in the country.

She praised the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in welcoming, feeding and protecting almost two million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees in the Kurdistan Region since the beginning of June 2014.

Shea also mentioned that since the KRG is opening arms for IDPs in the Region, the US and the international community should support the KRG in return.
