Christian Community in Iraq Still Recovering from ISIS Invasion a Decade Later | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This is the 10th anniversary of the ISIS invasion in Iraq and the Christian community there is still recovering. On August 6-7, 2014 ISIS invaded the Nineveh Plains. The aggression forced the entire Christian population to flee for their lives. More than 13,000 families flocked to Iraq's Kurdistan region. In 2016, Iraqi forces liberated the region. So far, around 9,000 families have returned. The Archbishop of Erbil, Iraq, Archbishop Bashar Warda, joins to share what he remembers most about that time 10 years ago, what it was like and what he is hearing from people who fled to his archdiocese. Archbishop Warda tells us about life today, especially for the faithful. He discusses how many families have returned to the region and whether he thinks it will ever be back to where it was before the ISIS invasion. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
