Assyrians will not stay silent. Why does the @kurdistan government have a problem with Assyrians speaking up? And why are they so worried about the diaspora? My message to every Assyrian, watch this video, share it and listen.
في الذكرى 33 للغدر ممن يجري الغدر في عروقهم و تربوا عليه و الوجه الاخر الاكثر قبحاً من داعsh المتخفي بلباس المظلومية القومية و هم مستعدين ان ينقضوا على الشعب الذي يدعون الدفاع عنهم للشهيد " فرنسيس يوسف شابو " في نوهدرا ( دهوك ) .. كتب الصديق و الرفيق السكرتير العام للحركة الديمقراطية الاشورية " يعقوب كوركيس ياقو "
هي نفس اليد التي ضغطت على الزناد واغتالت الشهيد فرنسيس والشهيد بيرس وغيرهم العشرات من الشهداء الخالدين.
هي نفس اليد التي استولت على الأراضي، وتجاوزت على القرى في نالا وزاخو وصبنا والعمادية وبرور عليتا والمناطق الأخرى، وخططت ونفذت التغيير الديموغرافي في عنكاوا وغيرها، واعتبرت أرضنا غنيمة يسيل لها لعاب الجشع والسياسة، وليست وطناً يحمل إرثنا وتاريخنا.
هي نفس اليد التي رسمت السيناريوهات وصنعت الممثلين والقرقوزات السياسية ووضعتها في الواجهة السياسية وفرضتهم على شعبنا ممثلين عنه ورغماً عن إرادته.
هي نفس اليد التي تنصلت عن مفاهيم التآخي والشراكة السياسية الحقيقية وحق شعبنا في الوجود، وصنعت الحناجر والأبواق، لتشهد شهادة الزور وتحرف الحقائق.
هي نفس اليد التي وضعت الأصبع على الزناد هناك، والأصوات في صناديق الاقتراع هنا، لتسرق إرادة شعبنا، وتولد لنا ابناء من رحم غريب وتلصقهم بنا.
هي نفس اليد التي تلقفت مساعدات شعبنا ايام الشدة والضيق، أيام الكفاح والتضحية، لترد له الجميل بوضعه في الضيق والشدة ومصادرة إرادته وسلبه ارضه والتستر على قتلة شبابه الخ الخ …
تنسى يميننا يسارنا إن نسينا او سكتنا او تقاعسنا او تخاذلنا او ساومنا .. سنبقى نتذكر ونسير على ذات النهج إلى إن ينال شعبنا الكلداني السرياني الآشوري حقه المشروع ويصون وجوده على ارضه التاريخية.
On the 33rd anniversary of the treachery perpetrated by those whose veins run with treachery, who were raised on it, and the other, even uglier face of ISIS, disguised in the garb of nationalist oppression, while they are ready to pounce on the very people they claim to defend, the martyr Francis Yousef Shabo in Nohadra (Duhok) was assassinated. My friend and comrade, the Secretary-General of the Assyrian Democratic Movement, Yaqoub Korkis Yaqo, wrote:
It is the same hand that pulled the trigger and assassinated the martyr Francis, the martyr Peres, and dozens of other immortal martyrs.
It is the same hand that seized lands, encroached upon villages in Nala, Zakho, Sabna, Amadiya, Barwar Alita, and other areas, and planned and implemented demographic change in Ankawa and elsewhere. They considered our land spoils of war, coveted by greed and political ambition, not a homeland that holds our heritage and history.
It is the same hand that crafted the scenarios, created the political actors and puppets, placed them at the forefront of the political scene, and imposed them upon our people as their representatives against their will.
It is the same hand that disavowed the concepts of brotherhood, genuine political partnership, and our people's right to exist, and instead created voices and mouthpieces to bear false witness and distort the truth.
It is the same hand that pulled the trigger there and manipulated the ballot boxes here, stealing the will of our people and giving birth to foreign offspring, forcing them upon us.
It is the same hand that received aid from our people during times of hardship and distress, during times of struggle and sacrifice, only to repay them by subjecting them to further hardship and distress, confiscating their will, seizing their land, and covering up for the murderers of their youth, and so on…
Our right hand will forget our left if we forget, remain silent, become complacent, falter, or compromise… We will continue to remember and follow the same path until our Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian people attain their legitimate rights and preserve their existence on their historical land.
Montana Cafe has officially been reopened, after it was concluded that there was no discrimination against any Kurdish individual. The person had used their government connections in order to shut down the cafe and fabricate a story to save themselves. There was no official investigation, no reviewing of the camera footage, and no initial talks with the store owner. Just another day in the region of coexistence.
Those news outlets who spread false information won’t give any further updates about this event, and it will be used by the people to further justify any incitement and violent actions committed against non Kurdish groups in the region. A very common theme, and our people should’ve been prepared for this. If only we had an organised and professional media presence in the homeland to document these events..oh well.

Our survival is not the responsibility of foreigners, nobody cares that we’re Christian or indigenous. We allowed this to happen to ourselves. Who would’ve guessed decades of blindly worshipping Iraq and being apathetic toward your own politics gets you nowhere and only allows you to become a ragdoll to be thrown around by larger surrounding groups. If you want a solution, support the youth who reject our elders’ damaging ideologies.
@YousifOfAlqosh We already have one name, ܐܘܡܬܐ ܣܘܪܝܬܐ. If Suraye used their own language more often these internal divisions wouldn’t be as large as they are today.
If you’re able to show the fruits of your labor and the benefits of having a national vision that supports self rule and preservation of its people (through armed movements and boots on the ground), you will garner support from our people.
Suraye from Hamdaniya don’t have an issue with the Assyrianist led NPU and it’s also supported by the Syriac Catholic clergy.
@DannoSwo The greatest strategic mistake was the addition of the word “Assyrian” to the COE.
While well-intentioned, it ended up creating an artificial divide between the “Assyrians” and the other communities.
Which internal & external forces seized upon to crystalize fake divides.
Assyrian Democratic Movement or simply Zowaa (The movement) was established by small cultural and university students groups in 1979. Zowaa was active in Assyrian culture awareness, our national unity and overtaking occupied Assyrian lands.
@AlshemariRafal@Gilganigga الفرق هو أن آشور حضارة حية. ما زلنا نتحدث اللغة الآرامية التي تبناها أجدادنا ونحتفل بالسنة القومية الرافدينية الخاصة بنا على سبيل المثال. لا يوجد اليوم شعب أكدي أو سومري أو بابلي له ثقافته ولغته وهويته المميزة الخاصة به.
The Assyrian Battalion was a small Assyrian Christian militia active from about 1978 to 1991 during the Lebanese Civil War. It operated within the Lebanese Front/Lebanese Forces coalition alongside other right-wing Christian factions.
Assyrians fought alongside Kurds against the Ba’ath regime. Our villages were destroyed together and we were displaced together. However after the Kurds secured autonomy, our lands were seized and our villages were swallowed. Yet today, Kurds are oblivious as to why a negative sentiment exists between our peoples. You are simply treacherous in nature.
Kurdistan Region Barzani criminal regime continue to steal Assyrian land, 500 dunams in Shiyiz will be seized soon,
Just last month the KRG seized over 1500 dunams of Assyrian land in Bakhetme, reaching near 100,000 dunams of Assyrian land stolen by the Kurds in Duhok province.
