   Jonson Syawesh, Assistant Chairman of the Popular Council said that the international protection of the Nineveh Plain has become an urgent public requirement demanded by our people. Syawesh added that thousands of our displaced people from Nineveh Plain, who marched today in a large demonstration in front of the American Consulate in Ainkawa, demanded the international protection for the Nineveh Plain, stressing that they will not return to their homes without providing international protection for their areas.
   Syawesh called on all the institutions, parties, associations and clergies to support our people’s demand and to work seriously to achieve them through the UN Security Council, especially that some of the world’s countries are moving to achieve this demand after it was officially acknowledged in the Iraqi Council of Representatives.
   Syawesh pointed out that anyone who opposes this demand will be a reason for our people to waste such a historic opportunity, just as they wasted several years before the opportunity to achieve the autonomy project, and they will be responsible for it in front of our Chaldean Syriac Assyrian people and in front of history.
   Syawesh confirmed that this demand is the only option that will give confidence to our people and ensures their rights and the future of their presence in this country, and it will provide for them forces with a genuine will that can work for the benefit of our people and not for the benefit of others, because to demand Forces linked to the ministries of interior and defense in the federal government of Iraq or even the Region Kurdistan is only a cover to circumvent on this requirement, otherwise why launching such statements in the media when everyone knows that the Iraqi army and the forces of the Region (Peshmerga) were not able to protect our people’s areas in the Nineveh Plain from the "Daesh" terrorist. So how can we build up self- forces to protect our areas while they are not under the control of the government, and even if those areas returned to the control of the government in the city of Mosul, could the establishing of regular forces there end the problems of our people in the region?
