As a result of these and other reasons, the idea of establishing the Assyrian Aid Society was necessary as a supportive society to our people, especially in the northern region of the country. It is worth mentioning that the role of the Assyrian Aid Society of Iraq increased more and more in supporting our people after the fall of Saddam regime in 2003, and as determined result for other needs due to the security and economic circumstances that Iraq is going through, in addition to the expansion of the geographical patch to include most of the governorates that our people are centralize: Nineveh Plain, Baghdad and Kirkuk.

  • Yazdandukht and Mar Qardagh from the Persian Martyr Acts in Syriac to Sureth Poetry on Youtube, Via a Historical Novel in Arabic
    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 24/2 (2020) Yazdandukht and Mar Qardagh From the Persian martyr acts in Syriac to Sureth poetry on YouTube, via a historical novel in Arabic Alessandro Mengozzi Videos posted on YouTube show how stories of East-Syriac saints have found their way to a popular web platform, where they are re-told combining traditional genres with a culturally hybrid visual representation. The sketchy female characters Yazdandukht and Yazdui/Christine and the fully developed epos of Mar Qardagh, who belong to the narrative cycle of the Persian martyrs of Erbil and Kirkuk, inspired an Arabic illustrated historical novel, published in 1934 by the Chaldean bishop Sulaymān Ṣā’igh. A few years after the publication of the novel, a new cult of Mar Qardagh was established in Alqosh, in northern Iraq, including the building of a shrine, the painting of an icon, public and private rites, and the composition of hymns. In 1969 the Chaldean priest Yoḥannan Cholagh adapted Ṣā’igh’s Arabic novel to a traditional long stanzaic poem in the Aramaic dialect of Alqosh. The poem On Yazdandukht, as chanted by the poet himself, became the soundtrack of a video published on YouTube in 2014. Keywords: Hagiography, Persian martyr acts, Arabic historical novel, Neo-Aramaic, Classical Syriac Non esiste una terra dove non ci son santi né eroi. E. Bennato, L’isola che non c’è Social networks and mass media technologies offer various easily accessible and usable multimedia platforms to produce and reproduce cultural products, usually playing on the interaction of texts, music and images, and multiply the performance arenas in and for which these products are conceived.

    2007 List of Assyrian Christians murdered, Attacked, and Harassed in Iraq Compiled by Fred Aprim January 5, 2007 Baghdad Like other minority members in Iraq, Mardon Matrood, a 44-year-old Assyrian shopkeeper in Baghdad, has had enough of the country's sectarian violence. "Minorities in Iraq are targeted by insurgents and militias, who want us out of the country as they promote what they call the 'cleansing of Iraq, of non-Muslim communities'," said Matrood who is living with his family of six in an abandoned government building. Four months ago Matrood's family failed to pay a ransom of US $50,000 to kidnappers who had abducted his nephew. The nephew was later found dead. "We are a poor family...we couldn't pay [the ransom money] and after two weeks we were informed that the police had found his body near a mosque in Adhamiyah district (northern Baghdad). It was totally mangled, burned and tortured," Matrood said. http://electroniciraq.net/news/2794.shtml January 16, 2007 Mosul In al-Wahda Quarters, unidentified armed group attacked Sargon Sabah Yacoub and his family while on their way to Baghdeda to visit relatives.
