I'm an Assyrian and my people are the ones being directly persecuted here. They label my people the "Iraqi Christians" which people don't seem to realize is we are "Assyrian Christians".. Iraq is not our home. Assyria is our home. Nineveh is our home. What Isis, Iraq, Sunni, Shite, Kurd, America, the world don't seem to understand is we are the world's oldest civilization currently standing at 6764 years old.. and currently we are on the verge of extinction due to thousands of years of persecution. ISIL has committed in the face of the world 100% crimes against humanity. It took Obama well over a month to acknowledge the situation let alone act on it. The Assyrian people have been loyal to western society and even fought and won battles for the British in World War 1. They didn't fulfill the promised land we earned and in turn we had a mass genocide of 800,000 Assyrian people in the Assyrian genocide of 1915. Since than, there has been countless massacres even committed by the so called "friendly Kurds and Iraqis".. When Britain pulled out of the Middle East, 3000 Assyrians were murdered for our co-operation with the westerners. Now with recent events in Iraq since 2003-2010-2014 there has been countless church bombings, murders, rapes, kidnappings and persecution and the world turns a blind eye towards it. My Assyrian people are on the verge of extinction and have nearly all left Iraq. We are the original people of Mesopotamia. We are the creators of law. We are the cradle of civilization. We are not simply "Iraqi Christians", We are Assyrians; and we demand Nineveh Plains under our control and protection. With that we need the world's aid to help us restore our strength and to save our people. |
I'm sorry for the hardships your people have had to face.
