No democracy for dhimmis. From AINA, with thanks to Nicolei:
Mubarak Sliva (58) sits in front of “Muntaka” coffe shop by an old table and drinks tea out of a little glass with his friends Michael and Jacob, He watches Shiites and the Kurds celebrating their election victory which will allow them to rule the country. Again and again Mubarak looks at this but seem like every time he feels like being stabbed in the heart. His friends feel sad also. The “Muntaka” is social center of the city of Qaraqosh located 15 kilometers distance from Mosul. All 30,000 inhabitants are Christian Assyrian who were prevented fom voting during the Iraqi elections.”No one heard our voices, we were deprived of our constitutional right as in the Saddam Husseins time, nothing has changed”, shouts Mubarak Sliva.
East of Mosul, there are many places where only Christians live but because they wear the typical Arab clothing they are not noticed. Out of the 200,000 Assyrians in the region 90 percent were not allowed to vote. “The large iraqi parties celebrate, and the USA wants to establish democracy in Iraq but the minorites will not be part of it”, complained Mubarak Sliva: ” not even once any body cared to mention in Baghdad that we were deceived. It was alleged that they did not know what happened. That is a lie. Three weeks ago the American consul from Mosul visited us.”
Louis Markus Ayoob (45), the deputy mayor and representative of the electoral committee for Qaraqosh, has testified that it was Kurd’s intention to keep Christians from voting.
