Christian Peacemaker Team to go to Iraq

Print Article Email to a Friend

CHICAGO/TORONTO—Christian Peacemaker Teams announces a delegation to Iraq for April 18-May 2. The Kurds of northern Iraq faced discrimination, terror and death under the regime of Saddam Hussein. As the security situation deteriorated in southern and central Iraq after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, thousands of displaced people fled to the Kurdish Regional Government-controlled area in the north. Northern border villages have suffered military attacks from Turkey and Iran. CPT’s April delegation will be based in the KRG city of Suleimaniya. CPT has had a presence in Iraq since October 2002, first in Baghdad and since November 2006 in the Kurdish north.
