Dear Fellow Assyrians;
I have been writing many emails and articles about how we
can resurrect Assyria and Assyrians. Our organization of “Bne Ashur” have plan
and we put our plan into action to resurrect Assyria. We know it will taker us
years, but we have no other option.
Now my question is to all the Assyrians patriotic; would you each write your idea or a plan in
how we can rise? I know we all talk about our problems, but how about the
solutions? not only that but who is willing to carry on with the ultimate plan
that you may have? All that I see is we email each other or meet on Pal-talk or
on Face-book just to talk without any action.
But I know this, which thousand
of Assyrians around the world do take action and prepare to travel to attend
the annual “party convention” that is prepared annually by Assyrian federation,
this year in California.
We do have the money to meet every year to dance and party,
but we don’t have money or time to meet every year to put a plan into action
for resurrection. We became a nation of dancing only, rather than a nation of
fighting. Why would the united nation, America, Iraq or European country feel
sorry for us when we don’t even try to meet once a year for our own salvation as
a nation?
We do remembrance of our martyrs every year on August 7t. How about the young Assyrian generations in Diaspora that are
melting in different society and losing their Assyrian language and identity. Who
will do their remembrance? And on what day shall we do their remembrance? For they
are living dead.
For God sake, I am calling on all the Assyrian church leaders, Assyrian
political parties leaders and Assyrian activists to set a date so we all can
meet annually in a true Assyrian convention, without dancing, to discus our
situations and plan in order for us to unite and bring salvation for this
small divided nation, “the Assyrians”
No one can unite us, but only us. And no one can rise Assyria, but only us.
Please forward this message to all of your friends.
