The Yazidi community of northern Iraq has brought home 104 of its members who were killed by the Islamic State group during its reign of terror in 2014.
Their remains had been identified and exhumed from mass graves, and they were laid to rest in the village of Kocho near Mount Sinjar in Ninevah province.
Thousands of men were killed and women and children enslaved and raped when IS overran the Yazidis' homeland.
The UN says IS carried out genocide against the community.

And this is why we need to be in Iraq. Colin Powell said “if you break it, you own it”. Until the Iraqi government can police and defend themselves, we need to be there. I did 2 six month tours in that cesspool, but I felt they were meaningful. My people documented the first elections, that was a tangible sign of progress
