Dear Editors of Tuesday 28th
October 2008,
Your feeble report on the
plight of the ethnic cleansing of Christians in Mosul is not only 5
years too late but lacking in clarity and objectivity. This process has
been ongoing since 2003 in Basrah and Baghdad while the MNF allowed the
Badr Brigade and Sadar militia to conduct their atrocities with impunity
as long as they do not point their guns towards the occupier.
Equally the Warlords Talibani and Barazani were allowed by the MNF to
extend their land grabs in order to extend their de facto separate
northern enclave at the expense of non-Kurds inhabitants of the region
particularly in Kirkuk and Mosul. Surely your reporter could not expect
to conduct these interviews with the fleeing Christian families in the
presence of his security, which undoubtedly was drawn from the Warlords
clan.
However, to seek the facts and objectivity there is ample evidence in
support of the above in Syria, Jordan and Turkey worthy of extensive
report instead of allowing a few minutes of R4 airtime on a tragedy of
immense historical interest.
Kind
regards,
Riad El-Taher
Chair
