BREAKING: Assyrians in Iraq are staging a peaceful protest against Christian land theft. This is happening today. Land encroachment by Kurds in the KRG continues. Even when encroachments are deemed illegal, judgements are not being enforced. This is official and unofficial. It could be a villager building on land that isn’t his, it could be the government rezoning an area that isn’t owned by them. Going on for decades. A few recent examples: - A plan to seize 370 acres of Assyrian land in Bakhetme was revealed in 2026. - According to the Assyrian National Broadcasting organization, over 22,239 acres of Christian land across 82 villages has been seized between 1961 & 2013 - According to one report, there are over 130 illegal village seizures in the KRG, facilitated through active involvement or passive endorsement of KRG authorities - In 2020, 117 Assyrian families lost access to 75% of their lands after the KRG reversed a law intended to protect Assyrian ownership - Ongoing dam projects in Bakrman, Dalia & Mandawa risk destroying Assyrian villages & displacing them permanently - In 2021, 1000 dunams of farmland near Erbil Airport was seized without notice or confiscation. The airport was built on confiscated Chaldean Catholic & Assyrian farmland. This is happening on the world’s watch. There are good people in the KRG who don’t want this to happen, but sadly the machine of land theft continues. There is no legal system if legal judgements aren’t enforced. This has to stop. All Assyrians in the diaspora must do their part. The tools at your disposal. Create a land registry, mobilize lawyers like @AlexKarana, and through peaceful means keep your ancestral homeland. END CHRISTIAN LAND THEFT IN IRAQ!
