    The establishment of a safe haven is probably the best solution since the Iraqi constitution guarantees rights to Assyrians and to own their own province and the Nineveh Plains in Northern Iraq is the traditional homeland of the Assyrians (Anweya). The Assyrians in the Nineveh Plains have started forming an army like many of the other tribes in the area who receive aid to fight terrorism but the army of the Nineveh plains does not get any. “If you give us half what you give to Peshmerga or other military forces, we will do double what they are doing now,” said Gevara Zaya, NPU Military Committee director (Holtz). If they can get the military supplies they need and support from NATO or the UN they can create this safe zone for Assyrians and any other group that is being persecuted against by the…

    Kurdish Genocide

    • 1708 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Kurds are located in the Middle East within several countries: Turkey, Syria, Iraq and surrounding lands. The raid on the Kurdish people first started in the 7th century with the conquering of their land by the Arabs (Rutgers, 2013). From the 7th century until the late 13th century, their lands were occupied by several different groups. From the 13th century until World War 1, the Ottoman Empire was in control of their lands. As you can see, up to this point in time, the Kurdish people as a whole have been controlled for over a thousand years. After World War 1 and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Treaty of Sevres was proposed to divide the land and the Kurdish people would finally regain a place to call their home (Rutgers, 2013). However, that treaty folded and the Kurds were not given land. The history of their people can be defined as being oppressed and separated as a whole. In the late 20th century, we’ll see how the violence aspect impacted the Kurds and only further pushed the movement against the Kurds into genocide.…

    Upon marching into Iraq in 2003, American forces were tasked with deposing Saddam Hussein and imposing stability and security. The former was accomplished with stunning rapidity; the latter continues to elude Iraqis, regional interests, and the Western world almost fifteen years later. Why such chaos? Even the American “surge” of soldiers in 2007 did little to quell the violence. Ethnic conflict between the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shias, extant prior to American involvement, intensified post-invasion.…
