Diaspora explores the enduring displacement and forced expulsion of the Assyrian people from their ancestral homeland in Mesopotamia (covering regions in modern-day Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Syria). Primarily driven by over a century of systematic persecution, genocide, and ethnic cleansing by successive regimes and extremist groups, aiming to eliminate the indigenous, Aramaic-speaking minority. Fuelled by geopolitical conflicts motivated by foreign intervention particularly over the land’s oil reserves.
