They should extend their training and assistance to all endangered religious minorities, but they will probably only help Christians.

Matthew VanDyke (born June 11, 1979) is an American documentary filmmaker, revolutionary, and former journalist.[5][6] He gained fame during the Libyan Civil War as a foreign fighter on the side of the uprising and as a prisoner of war.
As a journalist and documentary filmmaker, VanDyke traveled throughout North Africa and the Middle East by motorcycle from 2007–2011. His experiences and observations during these four years led him to join the Libyan Civil War as a rebel fighter. VanDyke has publicly supported Arab spring revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa and has worked as a filmmaker in the Syrian Civil War and fought as an armed combatant.

On February 21, 2015, VanDyke announced the creation of Sons of Liberty International, a self-described non-profit security contracting firm, consisting of himself and several veterans.[9][80] Their current efforts are directed towards training the Nineveh Plain Protection Units (NPU), an Assyrian militia backed by the Assyrian Democratic Movement, with the stated intent of preserving Iraq's Christian heritage against attacks from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. He claims to have helped train over 300 soldiers of the NPU, with the goal of training a total of 2000 soldiers.[81] Deflecting criticism that raising a Christian militia will only fuel sectarianism in the region,[9] he has stated that the NPU will eventually enlist other religious groups as well.

Current Mission

Sons of Liberty International has been working with the Nineveh Plain Forces (NPF), a local Iraqi Assyrian Christian force, since February of 2016. The first phase of the training consisted of basic training in Close Quarters Combat, Weapons Safety, and other basic training. The second phase includes specialized leadership training for a select group within the NPF, intensive marksmanship training, advanced marksmanship training for a select group within the NPF, and continual review of basic training.

SOLI also hopes to work with one or more other Christian forces to provide both basic training and marksmanship training.

NPU is a military organization that was formed late in 2014, largely but not exclusively by indigenous Assyrian Christians in Iraq, to defend against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[2] The Nineveh plains are a region where Assyrians in Iraq have traditionally been concentrated.[3] By December 2014, the group said it had between 500 and 1000 men in training, that the US was helping train them, and that financial support was coming mostly from Assyrians in the US and Europe

n May 2016 NPU said that it participated in fighting at Tesqopa along with Peshmerga forces.[5] In September 2016, NPU soldiers repelled an ISIS effort to retake Tesqopa.[6]
Also in September 2016, NPU worked with the Iraqi army to liberate the Shabak village of Badanah from ISIS, with the support of international coalition airstrikes.[7][8][9][10]
In October 2016, NPU, alongside Peshmerga and Nineveh Plain Forces liberated the village of Bartella from ISIS.[11]
In December 2016 Jameel al-Jameel, a member of the Nineveh Plains Protection Units claimed that Kurdish soldiers at checkpoints were interrogating and preventing Assyrian NPU soldiers and civilians seeking to enter the the Nineveh Plain.

Dont waste your money on these groups, who by their modus operandi will only endanger Assyrians and other Christian MENA further with retributory attacks once SOLI leaves...as any American led directive surely lacks the patience needed to stay on for generations.

Instead, use your money and volunteers for an airlift campaign similar to the one conducted for the Jews of Ethiopie in 1991. This is the best solution for the MENA minority groups. Fly them off to some christian lands. Otherwise, militarizing them will only end up in their destruction; unlike Kurds for eg, Assyrians just do not have the numbers to be an expedient 'cannon fodder' group for the West's military campaigns and geopolitical agenda.

You know who will genocide them? The same people who genocided the Armenians, the Kurds...yes Young Turks ordered it, but Kurds were the ones doing the dirty work, actively gnociding and cleansing Armenians from the same area you speaking of today.

You have to realize the illegal 2003 American led invasion of Iraq (which indirectly has a hand to the Syrian war) will be seen as the catalyst of the extinction of Christianity from its ancestral homelands...something thousand+ years of Islamic rule did not do.

The days of Christianity in MENA are numbered.

may 2016...the Christian militias are fighting side by side with Peshmerga

by christmas...peshmerga are showing them who is boss, typical MENA style (checkpoint intimidation/extortions)

The Kurds will only impose their will more and more as they consolidate their control of Kurdistan. It is natural, and what others have done to Kurds. Maybe Kurds are different though, maybe they have something in them that you obviously see. They have women fighters afterall...maybe they are no longer tribal feudalists. /Sarcasm

Mr. al-Jameel states also that a group of 750 Assyrian civilians was stopped at a checkpoint and not allowed to go into the Nineveh Plains unless they signed certain papers. He does not specify what these papers were.


https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c6f_1481065895 as oppressive as it is the civilians have been allowed to enter. it is fair to specify.

oppression (which would eventually lead many to abandon their land) is very possible if a very nationalistic party will rule times later ... ut as nato allies i doubt they will put themselves in the difficult position of committing genocide.
unless a civil ideological war breaks in kurdistan after the defeat of isis , there have been recently clashes between the pkk and the peshmergas ... but hopefully this wont happen

The Palestinians know very well this game...who knows, with their strategic alliance, maybe Israel will train its ally Kurdistan on how to do proper, humane checkpoint vetting, hehe.

Believe me if asked to choose between my suggestion of an airlift to a Christian country, or for American vets and adventurists to 'volunteer' their military service and train them to fight against ISIS and co...the great majority would choose the airlift. Only reason that option is not on the table is no Christian country gives a damn enough to do so, or even sees in saving Assyrians enough "PR material" to motivate them in the manner it motivated Israel with her Ethiopian Jews.

i dont totally "trust" the kurds as i have heard that some have destroyed arab villages (homes) https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/11/13/iraqi-kurdistan-arab-homes-destroyed-after-isis-battles no matter if the leader of the tribe thought it was a cool idea to support isis , poor innocents have lost their own "richness". what are these people going to do once their homes have been destroyed?
and i have heard the same happening in syria.
this + the possibility of fighting against assad and turkish forces + the fear of kidnapping stop me from joining them. i would have been accepted (i got confirmation) , probably only used as a postergirl
as an italian citizen i am a valuable "person" in that mess , groups like isis probably have more interests in taking me than the sdf , there s a possibility that the terrorists might fake being of the sdf to take me as an hostage (italy is already under negotiations with isis to free an italian hostage... )
these are the reasons why despite praising the sdf i am not fighting alongside them... i admit im still undecised

im thinking about the joining the army (and i didnt do it before for health + the possibility of having clinton as president) but despite my health issues and increasing age there is still the fear i might be sent in the ukranian front, i support more the russians than the ukranians on this matter, and women arent even allowed to fight.
