Iraqi Christians Now under Threat of Extinction; Sectarian Tensions Drive Christians Out of Area

An international humanitarian aid organization has found that Christian living in the formerly ISIS-controlled Nineveh Plains of Iraq are now in danger of extinction, the Christian Post website reports today (July 14, 2020).

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) published a report this week in which it states that political and sectarian tensions are driving Christians out of the area. 

ACN conducted several surveys to identify and report on challenges facing Christian living.

"The findings ... make clear that restoring the stability of the Christian community in this post-conflict region is only possible with a concerted effort focusing on security, education, and reconstruction," the ACN report states.
