NEWS
For 50 years, Iraq has known war and chaos.
In June, 2014, the assault of Daesh (IS) on Mosul, the second largest city of Iraq, took place. In August, Daesh invaded all the plain of Mosul, mainly populated with Christians. In the night from August 6th to 7th, the local population ran away to Kurdistan.
The situation of the emigrants is tragic. They live without hope facing the darkness of an uncertain future !
After Daesh's departure in october 2017, two third of the inhabitants came back home : christians, shiite muslims and yazidis who found their houses plundered and burnt down. The government's inability to assist them led the NGO and international charities to take over the restauration of the ruined cities, mostly christians.
The dialogue that used to exist between communities from different religions is today cut.
