Christians and Yazidis in Iraq

by Dr. Otmar Oehring

Current situation and prospects

Christians and Yazidis hope that the military campaign to recapture Mosul, launchedin October 2016, will be brought to a successful conclusion and thus enablethem to return to their settlements in the Nineveh Plains and the Sinjar District,which were captured by the IS in the summer of 2014. However, it isa matter of debate whether a military victory over the IS and the recaptureof Mosul will provide sufficient grounds for Christians and Yazidis to returnto their traditional settlements, as they hope to do, and so remain in Iraq.
