Al Mansour, the once elegant neighborhood in central Baghdad, was the scene of the destruction of three houses inhabited by Christian families in the wave of violence that is affecting since yesterday the community still shocked for what happened on Sunday, October 31 in the Syriac Catholic Church in Al Karrada district where 44 worshipers were killed during the attack claimed by the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq, and in the subsequent raid by Iraqi forces.
According to police sources the explosions caused only property damages, but according to other sources there would have been some injured and there were similar attacks in the neighborhood of Hay Al Arabi.
But the attacks did not end yesterday and today struck other areas, Dora, Camp Sarah, Zayouna, 52 Street, in a crescendo of horror that is unlikely to stop the umpteenth exodus of Christians from the capital.
"Three families have already fled from Dora," said to Baghdadhope a source from Baghdad, "also a Christian house in a suburban neighborhood was destroyed. Someone rang the door and opened it saw a masked man who threw a bomb in the house, fortunately the family was able to take refuge in the back and there were no victims, but of course those people will flee. "
"In some churches," the source continues, "they are preparing to host these families. What can we do? We are afraid, do are really afraid, it's terrible to live knowing that someone is trying to kill you."
"Where is the world?" asked instead to Baghdadhope the Chaldean priest Father Ameer Gammo, "if they kill a dog or a cat rallies are organized. And for us? Who does something for us? Where are the humanitarian organizations? Why they do nothing? Do they ignore what is going on in Baghdad? We have the Lord and our faith, but the world, where is it? "
