Beckoning Aspirations: Solving The Assyrian Resource Dilemma

In June of 2014, after a startling military offensive by the Islamic State, ISIL gained controlled of Mosul, an Iraqi city within the Nineveh Province. From 2014 to 2018, ISIL has destroyed Assyrian archaeological sites in Mosul; around the same time, Iraq's federal government and Islamic State forces have fought for control of Tikrit and Anbar Province. Coalition and Iraq government forces battled for eight months and immobilized ISIL near the Tigris river, claiming victory for the city of Mosul, but displacing many Assyrians while accumulating billions of dollars in infrastructure damage. Ensuring further uncertainty for Assyrians was an illegal Kurdish backed independence referendum staged by Kurdish Regional Government which forced the Iraqi federal government to intervene with an offensive driving back Kurdish annexation. Despite preventing the referendum, discrimination against Assyrian people continues. With Assyrians placed in different circumstances in different countries as a result of being caught within a spiral of war, oppression, and genocide, Assyrians around the world yearn for an independent Assyrian state. Assyrian political organizations have helped draw attention to the Assyrian cause, and educated, diligent, and patient groups of Assyrians must arise, capable of assisting their fellow Assyrians around the world. In order for Assyrians to succeed, those educated, wealthy, and sophisticated Assyrians who live in a post-industrial world must unite without boundaries, narcissism, tribal conflicts, religious division, and nationality toward individual millets. If these reasonable terms can be fulfilled, then Assyrians will be successful in embracing unity under any circumstance even if simultaneously being persecuted.
