Seksslavinnen.
Dit is echt om misselijk van te worden:
For the past week, Khandhar Kaliph's hands have trembled whenever his phone has rung. He nervously greeted his daughter, who had been kidnapped when the Islamic State (Isis) overran the Yazidi city of Sinjar. There was a minute of silence, before he broke down sobbing. "She said she is going to be sold as a slave this afternoon, for $10," Kaliph said, his tears dropping into the brown dust. "What can a father say to that. How can I help? We all feel so useless."
Let wel, dat bericht staat in de linkse krant de Guardian. Het is dus géén zogenaamde 'interventie-agitprop.'
Het Westen heeft bijna geen tijd meer om hier iets aan te doen. Hoe langer we niets doen, hoe machtiger ISIS wordt (en hoe rijker, trouwens).
