Kurds get a strong ally in the Trump Administration – John Bolton

John Bolton - National Security Advisor — John Bolton – National Security Advisor

Vice-President Pence is steadily making progress to fully support the Iraqi Christians. Last week, John Bolton replaced Gen. H.R. McMaster as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor. Bolton’s firm stance presents a departure away from the establishment and shifts gigantic support for an independent Kurdistan.

The announcement Thursday night that former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton would replace Gen. H.R. McMaster as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor confirms the arrival of a new, distinctive voice in the Trump administration.

On no issue will Bolton’s firm stance present a bigger departure from establishment dogma than his support for an independent Kurdistan.

Iraqi Christians

There have been Christians in Iraq since the time of the Apostles, and they preserve their traditional worship in ancient churches and monasteries. Most Iraqi Christians still speak a modern form of Aramaic (the language of Jesus).

In 2003, around 1.5 million Christians lived in Iraq. Now that number has been reduced to 275,000.

Starting in June 2014, the Islamic State (ISIS) and aligned forces began a major offensive in northern Iraq and captured the city of Mosul and many towns in the plains of Nineveh, causing the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Christians from their historic homeland. Most of them fled to the Kurdistan region and arrived in the territory of the Chaldean Archdiocese of Erbil. Since that time they have lived in refugee camps.
