FAWZIA SIDO, aged nine, was captured with two of her brothers by Islamic State in the summer of 2014. Following their capture, she and one of her brothers, Fawaz, were made to take part in a forced march from Sinjar to Tal Afar, at that time under the control of Islamic State. The journey took three or four days, during which time the Yazidis were given no food by their captors.
On arrival to Tal Afar, according to Fawzia, “They told us that they would give us food. They made rice and they gave us meat to eat with it. The meat had a weird taste, and some of us had stomach aches afterwards.
“When we were done, they told us that this was the meat of Yazidi babies.
“They showed us pictures of beheaded babies, and said ‘these are the kids that you ate now.’ One woman suffered heart failure and died shortly after. The mothers of these babies were there also. One mother recognized her own baby because of its hands.”
And to the interviewer’s mute sounds of horror, she continues “It’s very hard, but it wasn’t our fault. They forced us. But it’s very hard to know that it happened. But it was not in our hands.”
...
Fawzia was given to a man who first raped her when she was 10 years old. She remembers being sold on five times, to “a Syrian, a Saudi, another Syrian,” and then finally to the Gazan jihadi fighter who “married her.” She knew him by his nom de guerre of Abu Amar al-Makdisi. “Makdisi” is the generally preferred term among the jihadis for a Palestinian Arab Muslim. It relates, of course, to the Islamic term for Jerusalem “Bayt al-Makdis.” Fawzia’s “husband,” however, was a Gazan, not a Jerusalemite.
...
In Gaza, Fawzia was kept as a kind of domestic slave by her “husband’s” family. She appears at a certain point to have been “married” to one of his brothers, who was later killed in the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
