One procession for a Cause and a homeland
Our beloved Assyrian nation’s … Yes… We have been in disarray… But what shall we do?
What shall we choose? Who am I to know what I’m doing? Are there solutions which will fix all the problems that our nation is facing … Am I aware of this responsibility? Are you aware of this responsibility before you ask me or yourself, what am I going to do or what are you going to do?
We have no other choice but to call things as they are… Not the other way around when others called submission reality and treachery rights.
We are not going to dwell on the brutal forgery which is practiced by those parties that have stricken the Assyrian national identity and adopted the clustered like name. These practices have been exposed and every one knows that they are just trying to move the tools of separation in the name of unity in order to direct a new theatrical production for an old theme.
Let’s ask ourselves what dignity is left for a nation that sells every thing even its values. My apologies but I didn’t except this description to compare what’s happening to our nation and its Cause today, striking the national identity, forgery, distortion, bargaining, and marginalization.
Three years have passed by since April 09th when the idol in Baghdad was removed, a legitimate question arises, what did we accomplish?
What did we realize whether positive or negative?
Where do we stand from the political game in the new Iraq?
Where is our Cause?
What have we done during all this period of time?
What were the consequences as a result of these actions and what were (if there were any), the mistakes, sins and disgrace?
At the same time what did we accomplish politically?
What rights were lawfully recognized for the Assyrians in the permanent Iraqi constitution as an indigenous Iraqi nationality and a deeply rooted people?
What are the rights, which were obtained in equality with the other Iraqi groups?
How do we continue? What methods to follow? Where to? And do we have any one who is demanding our Assyrian nation’s rights?Since the demise of the eradicated regime, we didn’t accomplish any thing except more dispersion, fragmenting to the level of hallucination amongst our people with all their religious, political and social institutions. The identity of our nation was further torn apart and doubted, our national rights were denied beginning with the Transitional Administration Law leading to the final blow turning us into refugees in our own homeland, and plundering our legitimate rights within the latest constitution.
As Assyrians we have to ask those who claimed to represent our nation in Iraq since the fall of Saddam, where are they heading? We say it without being ashamed and without being drawn behind individualistic interests … The future of the Assyrian nation shouldn’t be waged for the interests of individuals, organizations, movements or parties.
Enough is enough … It’s time for a change, it’s time for a political reform as the basis for progress, we need a decisive remedy and it’s in our interest to put an end to this hallucination and mockery. It’s time to give ourselves the chance to succeed … We want to reach our goal in the hopes of realizing some of which we’re aspiring for.
