Three brave female fighters killed 10 ISIS jihadis a day

'We came to stop the humanitarian crisis', the group said

Newsroom September 23 10:45

Three courageous women formed an armed fighting unit and killed up to 10 ISIS jihadis a day to stop the Yazidi genocide on Mount Sinjar.

The women are members of the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party which fights the Turkish government and is classified as a terrorist organization by the US, NATO and Turkey.

As MailOnline reports, the women took the decision to leave Turkey and travel to Kurdistan, northern Iraq, to end the bloodshed of Yazidis being slaughtered there.

‘When we heard ISIS were coming to Sinjar and killing women, we came to stop the humanitarian crisis,’ Roza, 22, the youngest of the group, told MailOnline.

The genocide of Yazidis led US President Barack Obama to order air strikes against ISIS on August 7. But according to women, by then it was already too late.

Roza explained: ‘They did this first of all to get rid of the Yazidis and convert them and second, to do bad things to their females.’
