Iraqi Assyrians are victims of Kurdish ethnic cleansing

Our people, the Assyrians, the original inhabitants of Iraq - whose
empire preceded Babylon, many of whom still speak Aramaic, the language
of Christ - have been robbed. Along with other minorities in the north
of our country, the Turkmen, the Yezidis and the Shabak, we were
promised democracy. But the ballot boxes never arrived. The recent
elections simply passed us by, our complaints ignored, our rights
trampled, by people who should know better, because we shared their
experience of repression under Saddam Hussein. As a result, no Assyrian
representatives will be taking their place in the new Iraqi parliament.
