Nineveh, the capital of ancient Assyria, was burnt to the ground only a few years after King #Ashurbanipal’s death. The city was thought lost until giant winged bulls were unearthed in northern Iraq in the 1800s.

Qamishli / Beth Zalin, Syria (1939)

A town founded by Assyrian genocide survivors in the 1920's as Beth Zalin (Turkified to Qamishli). During this time and up until 1970's Ba'ath land seizures and Kurdish influx, there were more Assyrians in Qamishli than Arabs & Kurds combined.

Any article about our ancient Assyrian kings and queens and their subjects always fails to mention the fact that Assyrians persisted as a people - hell, Assyria even persisted as a country after the fall of the empire.

These are the stories @omardemosul doesn't recognize and won't tell. He peddles a totally unremarkable and historically mainstream Arab narrative that diminishes the trauma of indigenous groups, thereby perpetuating their misery.

On the Nineveh Plain being "disputed territory":

"Disputed by who?” an Assyrian parish priest experiencing the pressures of demographic change said to me. “We have always lived here. Show me the Kurdish cemeteries, if they claim this is their land.”

Assyrians represented 3% of the Iraqi population 15 years ago and should have been allocated up to 12 seats in parliament. With our numbers decimated after neglect, displacement and genocide, 4 out of the 5 pitiful seats we were given have been co-opted by Kurdish & Arab proxies.
