US Secretary of State John Kerry says the ISIL terrorist group is committing genocide in Iraq and Syria.
Kerry said Daesh is responsible for crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. He stressed that naming Daesh crimes is important, saying the group killed Christians solely because of their faith. Kerry called for destroying the Takfiri group by force and other means, urging the liberation of territories under its control. The US secretary of state further said Washington is coordinating with its coalition partners to choke off Daesh finances and to slow its recruitment of foreign fighters.
