- Hundreds of thousands of Christians have left Iraq, driven out by war, poverty and persecution.
Many of those who remain behind feel bitter and abandoned. But in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in the north of the country, Christians live in harmony with other religious communities.
Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Abdelwahed reports from Mangesh in northern Iraq.

Christianity is the way toward world peace for all the people
Here comes the crusader
Crusades were a response to the relentless Muslim onslaught on Christiandom. @@No29999
When the middle east confess Jesus is lord then they will only find peace
I wish that was the case, but the best thing christians can have is peace within themselves and with other religions.
@@No29999here comes the terrorist 😂Islamic cult
WE ALL LIKE MY CHRISTIANS FROM INDIA /AUSTRALIA .BE BRAVE
God bless the Christian in Iraq
Armenian terrorists are not from there neither turkey .
Wow!! Beautiful place.. Let Peace prevail over hate.
Saint Charbel Makhlouf, Please pray for your people in the Middle East.
How I wish I could visit this place.
don't forget to go back to your terrorist country
Good example in the world to love each other. JESUS bring peace in your Country from India.

Thank you brother, this means a lot ❤️✝️
these are armenian terrorist settlers , not iraqis , and they do not believe in God but Money and privileges .You think we will just let them doing their anti muslim stuff forever .........
Un abrazo a todos.
This is an Assyrian village. Kurds have moved in to this village afterwards!
If it was such a harmonious village then why have most Assyrians fled Mangesh?
You are a arab hater !!
What a way to add to that harmony my friend, accuse the Kurds of every problem Assyrians face. Assyrians have left because there is nothing for them to do in Iraq. Even more Kurds are leaving Iraq to go and live abroad. It’s the situation of the whole country.
But sure, go ahead and blame Kurds and live your fantasy of victimhood
@@Spinosaurus44 The comparison between Assyrians and Kurds leaving isn't even close. 90% of Assyrians have left, so as a % it's a massive amount and more than Kurds or anyone else. It's hard to find any country or region that has had such a large exodus of a specific people leave their region.
Kurds have their own region, Assyrians don't have anything to govern with.
@@VanWilshere2134 sure the ratio of Assyrians leaving vs staying might be higher than the ratio for Kurds, but you basically blamed the Kurds for Assyrians leaving their hometowns, which makes no sense! The first wave of Assyrian migrations started during the Kurdish-Iraqi conflict, and continued all the way through Saddam’s rain in the Iraqi-Iran War. Then in 2010’s ISIS was the cause of another huge wave of Assyrian migration. Kurds weren’t responsible for any of that!
Sure, I am not denying that the KDP has been known to harass Assyrians, and to have assassinated Assyrian figures who were trying to take the side of the Iraqi Army over the peshmarga during the early Kurdish-Iraqi conflict, but it makes no sense to blame every misfortune that your people face on us Kurds.
The main contributor to Assyrians leaving if you ask me is the current economical situation in Iraq and Kurdistan as a whole, followed by safety + discrimination concerns with them being Christian in a 99% Muslim country.
I know you’d rather have Northern Iraq be called Assyria instead of Kurdistan, trust me I know and I understand. I know that there were even Assyrian peshmarga who shed their blood for the independence of that land, but the problem is there are too few Assyrians remaining in the Assyrian homeland in comparison to us Kurds who are still the majority in Kurdistan. I wouldn’t mind you governing yourselves as a nation at all and I would actually support you, but both you and us are currently nothing but pawns in the dirty political games. Which is quite unfortunate for both sides.
I really want to visit .love from kerala we still use Syriac language for mass west syriac used orthodox church east syriac is syro malabar church
Stay safe lovely people, beware of hatemongers and fascists who seek to divide you.
Both the cult of caliphate & crusade dreamers r root of all problems in the region from history. 🤷♂️🤣 they needs to be free from these cults for everlasting peace
God bless you all,peace of Jesus Christ be with you all & peace be with the enemies too.
You are very stupid. We dont have peace in the world because of people like you
Peace & love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,
Side by side Catholic/Christian brothers and sisters❤️🛐
Praise the Lord God most high.....let every religion live united together.
May God Almighty bless you and keep you safe.
God bless
Armenians love Iraq
🇦🇲❤️🇮🇶
God bless you all.
may god help us all. much love to the far eastern brothers and sister
Deus abençõe o povo cristianismo do Iraque
GREAT MY CHRISTIANS .MALLICK JOHN INDIA
Hopefully they stop persecuting Christians there
As a Christian in Iraq, I’ve never heard anyone get persecuted for being Christian, we even have a small portion of the Kurdistan’s capital city for Christians with no mosque there. We do have the rights we need and we don’t get killed.
@@AnonymousGUY554 so what about all the terrorist groups that made Christians leave Iraq?
@@AnonymousGUY554 KRG and Iran backed militias have persecuted Assyrians though...and my Iraqi Assyrian friends have told me about this.
@@anonymousboi949Yes & sky is green! Iran & Shia militia support & help to create many Christian militias against ISIS & after the war help them to settle back to their lands!
@@kabdul9208 Ah yes, just like how Shabaks resettled Bartella!Good old Iran helping Assyrians resettle in their hometowns.
Christianity originated in the Middle East
as an iraqi muslim , i'd like to say they are so cute we really love they 😂❤
How much jizya is required to “keep the peace?”
Nice village.
Protect them
always be strong to be allowed to any peoples.

Is Iraq a secular country?
Yup probably coz shia is majority their otherwise u know the rule of tunni terorists sar tan sy Juda 😂
@@jattjamesbond1122 Hindus shut up
Iraq was secular from 1933 to early 1990's. Following the first gulf war in 1991, Saddam hussein turned Iraq into an islamic country with islam as the state religion to get support from the rest of muslim world against USA.
But Following more than a decade long civil war and sectarian violence (2003 to 2017), Majority of the Iraqis, specially the youth are strongly in favor of secularism again. A recent study has shown the almost 87% of Iraqi youth want some short of secularism while only 3% want a theocracy.

Kurds are not even Semitic. These Assyrians are true natives, before Arabs & Kurds. Kurds are Indo-European/gypsie
They are not the original inhabitants of Iraq. But they are the inhabitants of northern Iraq, Nineveh.
Iraq was finr when sadaam was ruling. When thr americans and brotosh bombed iraq for 20 years then all the problems happened.
Iraq war was terrible but Saddam was terrible too, pal
@@appletree6741 Yup always need a foreigner(particularly white) to tell you what’s good for you
Not according to locals, otherwise they would have defended gis statute.
@@adel19997 Most likely Shia, but this does not dispute the fact that Iraq had the highest literacy rates in the Middle East during Saddam’s reign
@@appletree6741 it was certainly worse for Iraqi Assyrians after the 2003 US invasion. I have many Iraqi Assyrian friends;some of them have origins in the village of Araden which Kurdish militants looted after 2003 in revenge for some Assyrians supporting Hussein.
The moment he said
" We are living without discrimination, it is a blessing from God " ...
He passively stated, they did discriminated but not now under unclear circumstances
??? I didn't pick up on that. What makes you think this?
Do u just want to make people look bad? What reason did u have to say this?
@@Reedanimzthestupe Yes indeed. We are here to expose the truth, nothing more.
No one likes you get lost and the Trinity is a joke
the only country in the middle east have a tase of peace..
You all are almost ready for the next step in your evolution. 😊
They can't as long as both the cult exists.
Nobody needs your imaginary "evolution" based on godless lies.
Your "evolution" has confused the s out of your people, you can't even tell what a man or a woman is 🤮
Or should I start with your cult beliefs of universe popping into existence from nothing😂😂😂
🧚♀️ tales for "evolved" "civilized" beings, who don't even know what they are!
Need I say more!?
@@surojeetchatterjee Yes they can. They can do what a few of us (in increasing numbers) have already done. Look past the gods to find the truth. We are more than just a bunch of atoms pulled together into a familiar form. Humanity is evolving past it's need for gods. I too started with a good but once I look behind the curtain... there was no going back for me.
My name is Mangesh
nice to meet you Mangesh, so where are you from mate ?
Kurdistan not iraq
On the map is Iraq
@@noralicious9496 Its Kurdistan
@@noralicious9496in reality it's still Kurdistan, go there 😅
@@Gutians Kurdistan country ?
Yes, because you aren't Iraqis but Iranians
Why are there so many crusaders in the comments? You seek peace by sword, and only wish good upon one group. History should be preserved, not relived. The brighter future doesn’t come by violence.
There in not Iraq , it is Kurdistan.
this is an Assyrian region first.
this land belongs to Assyrian Christians.
And i say this as a latino roman catholic.
keep dreaming
@@kurdekibedin1347 Islam was inspired by Christianity. And, this land definitely belongs to Christians.
@@MoisePicard-mk1nt come and get it lol
find your way to run with the peoples.
Prayers to our Christians brothers of Middle East, I often think about their extreme persecution. I met many of them during my teens when I lived in Europe.
Now I'm back to my home country in africa, one of the most Christian nations with 98% Christians, and Islam is more or less banned.
Glory to. God.

We never forget and forgive ☦️✝️
Do you live there? What has happened that you say never forget or forgive? These statements are blasphemy against those crosses you added
Well, help Armenia then
¡¡¡ Viva Cristo Rey !!!
Why should they fight, they all prey to one God .
Can be debated. Catholics pray to 3 gods. But yeah, Muslim s, Christians and Jews are like cousins.
Still you kill your cousin 😂
Shameful people
@@ikrajmohammad8999 Are u expert in Christian theology ? It's already been debated . Read history .
@@ikrajmohammad8999 How is that Christian & Jews God never mentioned about hoories. 🤷♂️🤣 how a pimp of hoories & non pimp can be same ?
@@Kishan-pv3ub not an expert, just a student of theology.
Kurdistan*
Catholics is not christians
We are all Christians. Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental, Protestant, And non denominations.
Nicene Creed and we agree that Jesus is Lord. The rest is just differente vessels of our faith in the Lord.
