Let's start with some good news
(26/3/2018) Mosul (Fides Agency) – More than four thousand Christian refugee families have returned to Mosul and Nineveh Province in recent months, after that last 9 December, Iraqi President Haider al Abadi proclaimed the defeat of the jihadists of the self-proclaimed Islamic State throughout the country (Daesh). He declared this on Sunday 25 March Nawfal Hammadi, governor of the Province of Nineveh. Hammadi also specified that most of them had found refuge in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, after that – between June and August 2014 – the conquest of the region by Daesh jihadists had pushed Christians to flee their homes. According to Hammadi – who made his statements to Press TV, the English-language television network linked to Iran - the flow of Christian refugees returning to their homes is destined to resume with intensity when the current school and academic year ends.
