As some residents of the city of Mosul celebrate their new freedom from the ISIS, an Iraqi Christian leader who visited the war-torn city said Christian residents are unlikely to return.
"I don't see a future for Christians in Mosul," said Fr Emanuel Youkhana, a priest, or archimandrite, of the Assyrian Church of the East.
Fr Youkhana, who runs Christian Aid Program Northern Iraq, a Christian programme for displaced Iraqis around the city of Dohuk, entered Mosul in a military convoy on January 27, the day Iraqi officials raised the national flag over the eastern part of the city. ISIS seized the city in 2014, causing Christians and other minorities to flee.
