IraqOCV

The Iraq Out-of-country-voting (OCV) has not only placed voting station in areas with a sparse population of Iraqis (ie. Nashville) while not placing them in high concentration areas of Iraqis (ie. San Diego and Central Valley), but has also setup its phone system to handle only kurdish and arab languages.

While the kurds make-up less than 15% of the total population of Iraq, most of whom were not legal citizens to the country and who not natives of Iraq but wandering nomads from the mountains of Iran, they have seen almost 100% control of Iraq voting inside and outside of Iraq.

This being said, the indigenous Assyrians of Iraq, who have a history of more than 6000 years and who make up no less than 10% of the Iraqi population living in Iraq and more than 75% of the total Iraqi population in the Diaspora have had almost no help...

Why is this so when the Assyrian population outside Iraq number over one million, while the kurdish population runs up to a mere thousands?

Why does the IraqOCV not recognize the Assyrian language and the Assyrian people?

Is it because the land the makes up present-day Iraq is the property of the Assyrian people, or is it because the Iraq ocv are a bunch of racists and bigots?

Either way, it seems the new Iraq has begun where the old Iraq left off... Ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Assyrian minority of Iraq.


You be the judge...
