The former head of the Christian Church in Iraq, Cardinal Louis Sako, warned on Wednesday of what he described as a new “wave of Christian migration” from Iraq abroad as a result of what he said were “restrictive operations” targeting Christians in the Nineveh Plain and areas of northern Iraq. Sako said, according to what was reported by the Premier Christian newspaper concerned with Christian religious affairs, that “the absence of stability and justice” for the Christian component in Iraq threatens to cause a new wave of migration outside the country, stressing that “hundreds of Christian families left the Qaraqosh area outside Iraq, and many families The other is now preparing to do the same,” according to his description. He continued, “The attacks on Christians are still continuing, especially on their jobs and the seizure of their money.”
