This map Religions and Ethnicities in Iraq was published yesterday as part of an article titled, “Christians on the Run in Iraq.” It discusses the contradiction of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's “promise of security for everyone” with the continued persecution of Christians. In July, Maliki assured German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Christians were safe in Iraq, which “led the German government to temporarily halt the process of accepting a refugee contingent of religious minorities.” The rest of the article looks at the life of Iraqi refugees in Germany and the possibility that there will be a new resettlement solution.This blog also discussed the security crisis for Iraqi Christians on October 16.
