| Christina Khader Ebada, a 3 year-old Assyrian girl, was abducted from her family last August by ISIS as they were leaving Baghdede. |
The
following excerpts are from AINA.org:
(AINA)
-- There are reports in the media that state the Obama Administration
will designate ISIS's attacks on Yazidis in Iraq as genocide, without
giving the same designation to ISIS's attacks on Assyrians and other
minorities in Iraq and Syria, even though these attacks targeted both
groups and were conducted in tandem.
There
is no question as to the suffering of the Yazidis and Assyrians.
Thousands of Yazidis have been killed, Yazidi women have been
captured and raped and sold as sex slaves. Hundreds of thousands of
Yazidis have been displaced. 200,000 Assyrians were driven from the
Nineveh Plains in North Iraq last year (AINA 2014-08-07) in the ISIS
attack that began -- not coincidentally -- on August 7, the Assyrian
Martyrs Day. Most have not returned and are living as refugees in
Arbel and Dohuk.
ISIS
has destroyed or occupied 45 Assyrian churches in Mosul. It has
killed Assyrians in Mosul. It has snatched Assyrian girls from the
arms of their mothers, never to be seen again.
