Safety and security in the Nineveh Plain are prerequisites for a sustainable future for Assyrians in their homeland. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn more about ongoing security challenges and examine competing policies for control of security. Using primary and secondary sources, participants will seek to understand how and why security in the Nineveh Plain collapsed in the wake of ISIS, and what measures must be taken in order to ensure the survival of Iraq's most vulnerable peoples. Workshop led by Reine Hanna (Assyrian Policy Institute) and Dr. Michael Youash (Nineveh Plain Defense Fund).
