It wasn't until September 2004 not exactly on the road but in the apartment of a friend in Damascus preparing to return to Australia with Dr Sankho that it finally dawned on me. It requires a huge paradigm shift to see what's so painfully obvious. Yet once that step is taken an enormous weight was lifted off my shoulders. Our identity is Iraqi, our culture is Assyrian, our religion is Christian and our langugae is Syriac. Before I went to Damascus I spent a month in Hassake, northern Syria in my father's old village. Thee 42 villages along the Khabour were orignally set up by the French as camps, hence the name Campeh. These were temporary camps used to house our people in 1935 while they settled and built their mud brick villages along the Khabour. Problem is that this temporary name has never changed. Up to this very day the villages are known as Campeh giving the impression that the Assyrians are still not settled and always on the look out to leave Syria and flee to the "safety" of the West. --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
