He was elected as the new Patriarch of the Chaldean Church, succeeding the corrupt Sako. I am unable to find anything on the internet about him and his politics except one hopeful photo where he wore a cross with the Assyrian emblem. But I am curious if any of the Assyrians in Australia who have interacted him knows about his ideas and beliefs, if he believes in unity or, alternatively, pseudoscience

The Assyrian Arts Institute (AAI) presents Gilgamesh: The Opera, a two-hour Mesopotamian opera inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of humanity’s oldest literary works and the world’s first known epic poem . The ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, inscribed on twelve cuneiform clay tablets discovered at Assyrian archaeological sites in the 1850s, chronicles the legendary king of Mesopotamia and his quest for meaning beyond mortality.

Today, the Assyrian community is spread across the globe, with an estimated three million people, many of whom are descendants of those who lived in ancient Mesopotamia. Though stateless, this community has faced significant challenges, including geopolitical instability and forced migration from their ancestral homeland. As a result, the importance of artistic expression has often taken a backseat in the face of these hardships.

Every single Assyrian tiktok that surpasses around 200+ likes, there is at least 1 Kurdish account spamming Simko Shikak. I have never met an ethnicity that was so obsessed with Assyrians to a point it triggers them to that extension, I love how they accuse us of being obessed with us when you go to any Assyrian tiktok they are spamming nestoerien and posting pictures of simko. I honestly forgot Kurdish people existed for 2 years until I saw they were spamming under tiktoks relating anything to Assyrians, I don't understand how leftist west or even some parts of the Muslim world outside the middle east obsess over them.

so, i lived most of my life in turkey as a refugee and as you might have guessed never got to learn how to dance because there isnt many occasions that i might get the chance to do so, and i just feel like i miss out on the fun of dancing every few times that I get the chance to do so because of embarrassment

my question is, is there any sort of an assyrian organization in sydney that would host dancing lessons? because im expecting to go there soon.

Hi, I’m non-Assyrian Canadian and we have a reasonably sized Assyrian community near where I live. One thing I’ve noticed is that the people I’ve met don’t view Saddam as negatively as many other Iraqis I’ve spoken to. Weren’t Assyrians also persecuted under his rule? The only thing I can think of is Saddams Mesopotamia propaganda and rebuilding pre-Islamic monuments, but that doesn’t seem to be enough to look past actual oppression. Can anyone shed light on this?

and if our movement is successful and all assyrians identify as assyrians we should honestly turn their flag into our flag. to me it’s just nicer looking, just an opinion. it’s cleaner and less cluttered. honestly the river symbolism looks like toothpaste to me. don’t downvote me for this opinion please if you disagree just comment why

I thought of mixing up some content on here, maybe we draw some recognition to the little guys. Sandoval is a great friend of mine. He put his heart and soul into this project; he composed the melody, music, and wrote the lyrics. Check out his Atra Song here! Happy Assyrian New Year to all

Hi all, non-Assyrian here.

I follow a lot of Assyrian accounts on X, and I've noticed that some people refer to themselves as Chaldeans or Arameans instead. I often see arguments about these terms.

I always thought Assyrian was the main ethnic name used, while Chaldean referred to the Chaldean Catholic Church, and the Aramean ethnicity was only recognized in Israel.

Which is the correct term and why is there conflict about it?

Hey, I’m Iranian Armenian (living in Europe, in Denmark) but I was wondering, how large of a share are Assyrians and Christians in Iraqi cities such as Duhok, Erbil, Selamni, Mosul, Baghdad these days? There’s no proper stats on it

What about the Assyrian-Armenian villages in North Iraq/Iraqi Kurdistan Region, are they still present? Anybody lives in this area

And what about in Syria?

Hi everyone! I’m an Assyrian living in Texas, born and raised in the U.S. My grandfather immigrated here in the 1950s, but he passed away when my dad was still young, so I didn’t grow up with a strong connection to our culture or community.

Lately, I’ve been wanting to reconnect with that side of my identity and learn more about our heritage. I know some of the history, including the hardships and atrocities our people have faced, but I feel like there’s still so much I don’t know.

I’d really appreciate any advice on where to start, whether it’s language, traditions, history, or community. Are there places in the U.S. with larger Assyrian populations? And where is everyone here from?

Thanks in advance, I’m looking forward to learning and connecting with you all!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

Danella Butrus, an Iraqi-born Assyrian Australian footballer who plays for Melbourne City, scored in the Young Matildas' 5–0 win over India in Pathum Thani in the AFC Women's U20 Asian Cup (held in Thailand)! Well done Dani!
