Not long ago, ISIS occupied this Assyrian town. Today, its resilient people celebrated Palm Sunday in the streets. RT to spread #hope.

The Assyrian Mayor of Alqosh was officially reinstated by an Iraqi federal court order, but when he reported for duty for the first time since he was illegally deposed last year, he was detained and beaten by #KRG Asayish forces. #StandwithAlqosh CC: @qubadjt

I was honored to visit Bakhdida last August as a guest of @UNHCRIraq. It's great to see the recovery of this critical minority in their ancient homeland in #Iraq. Hard not to be thrilled seeing that Palm Sunday crowd! https://t.co/Laz2pUoVtR

The town of Bakhdida in the Nineveh Plain was under ISIS occupation for more than two years. Just amazing to see these scenes. https://t.co/zMoVBogTu8

A lesson can be learned here.

Ever since 2014, advocates for the "persecuted church" were telling me that there was no hope for Christians in Iraq, that I should help them escape to the West.

Yet here they are.

Don't doubt the human spirit. Don't doubt Eastern Christians. https://t.co/2TxWypkc7b
