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.

@AzatAlsalim One year later in 1933, Iraq massacred the Assyrians in Simele, Nohadra. Till this day, the bones of our martyrs are visible and our massacre is not recognised. This country never loved us, it only loved those who were subservient.

Nineveh, #Assyria 📍 The Syriac Catholic Mar Behnam Monastery in Bakhdida has an inscription dating back to 1739 calling it an “Assyrian monastery”. Professor Amir Harrak from the University of Toronto presented this inscription in 2019. Nineveh will always be our home❤️

There are documentaries hours long on Assyrian history. Our empire ruled for 19 centuries. And it’s all documented, Assyrians are mentioned and maintained genetic continuity from fall of Nineveh till today. We are their descendants. Only the uneducated fall for this propaganda.
