Decades of war and persecution in Iraq have driven most believers out of the country. But one man is now working to restore hope and bring his people back home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">George Thomas has more from Northern Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SCRIPT:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: In Erbil, just beyond the ancient citadel, lies a neighborhood unlike any other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is Ankawa, a Christian enclave that has endured for nearly two thousand years. Here, people still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bashar Matti Warda, Archbishop of Erbil<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;This is a place of evangelization<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">this is a place where Christianity came right in the First Century.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Catholic Church, and the Syriac Orthodox Church all trace their roots to this land, making Iraq home to some of the oldest Christian communities on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, HOWEVER, that ancient presence is fading. The Christian population here has been shrinking for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bashar Matti Warda, Archbishop of Erbil<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;Every time there&#8217;s a crisis, there&#8217;s a war, there is violence, there is persecution, these old wounds start bleeding again.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, Iraq was home to as many as 1.5 million Christians. Today, fewer than 130,000 remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bashar Matti Warda<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s a frightening, frightening situation.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">[NATS OF ANO SHOWING US MAP]<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;The symbol of a fish is the first symbol&#8230;.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Ano Jawhar Abdoka is the only Christian member of the Kurdish government&#8217;s cabinet. He says wave after wave of violence has pushed Christians out of their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">IT BEGAN AFTER THE 2003 U-S INVASION. THEN CAME the rise of ISIS, WHICH FORCED more than 100,000 Christians to flee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">b, Minister of Transportations and Communications<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;1,100 churches were attacked, 1,328 Christians were killed on identity only in just two years, so our people were targeted because we are Christians.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Among those who left decades ago, and made the decision to come back, is Dilan Adamat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;I used to come here as a child for holiday, just for a few weeks and going back to France was always a bit frustrating because I was missing here, there was something missing in my life which was my Iraqi side after growing up in France.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: For Adamat, this neighborhood isn&#8217;t just where he&#8217;s from. It&#8217;s part of who he is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;This is my uncle&#8217;s house, there&#8217;s my cousin&#8217;s house, this is my aunt&#8217;s house over there.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: EACH street holds a memory. EACH home, a connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Born in Ankawa and raised in France, he spent years returning here as a child, never feeling at home anywhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(George: This was the former U.S. Consulate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Adamat: Yes, and it happens to be my cousin&#8217;s house (starts laughing). I know, you think everyone here is my cousin (starts laughing again), but in the early 2000s, I used to come here to this house, to spend a few weeks here.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: For Adamat, this is MORE THAN geography. As an Aramaic-speaking Chaldean Christian, he sees Iraq as the cradle of his faith, language, and history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">NAME:Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;I hope people will preserve this area because it&#8217;s part of our heritage here in Ankawa.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: NOW that heritage is at risk. AND After decades of violence and displacement, he fears it could disappear altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;We are at a very sensitive moment of history<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">we may disappear completely in a couple of generations and so if we don&#8217;t do anything now about this it will be too late in a few years.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: In 2019, he left a successful LAW career in France and returned to Ankawa to start The Return, a nonprofit helping Iraqi<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Christians come back to their ancestral home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;I wanted to normalize the idea of returning here, especially for our community. You know, we left for legitimate reasons, people were traumatized by wars and crisis, but at a point I realized that most of these people had this dream of coming back.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: It&#8217;s not an easy mission. Iraq remains unstable, and new regional tensions once again HAVE families QUESTIONING if it&#8217;s safe to return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Still, since 2023, his organization has helped hundreds begin that journey home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;One of the key elements of our Christian faith is hope, and I noticed that our people had lost hope, so my mission is to bring back this hope amongst our community, and this is deeply rooted in our Christian faith.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Minister Abdoka SEES signs of hope, especially here in Iraq&#8217;s Kurdistan region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ano Jawhar Abdoka, Minister of Transportations and Communications<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;In Ankawa, which is often called the Vatican of Iraq of the Vatican of the East, we had only 2 churches. Now in Ankawa, that was in 2003, only two churches, now in Ankawa we have more than 30 plus churches.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Last year, the region hosted its first Kurdistan National Prayer Breakfast, bringing together people of different faiths, a rare moment of unity in a divided region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ano Jawhar Abdoka, Minister of Transportations and Communications<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;In Kurdistan, we are saying to all the Middle East that peace is possible and diversity, ethnic and religious diversity, is not a threat.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">[NATS OF PASTOR MALATH PREACHING]<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Pastor Malath Baythoon has seen that hope firsthand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pastor Malath Baythoon, Christian Missionary Alliance Erbil<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;Kurdistan has become kind of like a safe place for many people over many years.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: He started his church in 2012 with just two families. it&#8217;s NOW one of IRAQ&#8217;S largest evangelical churches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pastor Malath Baythoon, Christian Missionary Alliance Erbil<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;Here, we have freedom to work, to be officially recognized, to expand, to build, and even to reach out to the people, to have open service, to have whoever wants to come and visit the church and always the government wants to support the churches.&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO: Still, those here know the future will not be easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dilan Adamat, The Return<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(&#8220;We will never be completely at peace but at the same time, it will never be dead.
