Will a monument ever be erected in Simele?

Dr. Muna Yako, leading the Human Rights Commission in the KRG, disclosed to SBS that her aspiration to erect the monument of Simele dates back many years. Despite her efforts, she noted a lack of support from Assyrian organisations in reaching an agreement to commence the project. However, Dr. Yako affirmed that the Governor of Duhok has essentially agreed to support and finance the endeavour. This is part one of the report from Naseem Sadiq. Part two will follow soon.
