Inside Iraq’s Hidden Christian Village (After ISIS Invasion) 🇮🇶

◼︎Did you know there’s a Christian village in Iraq? I didn’t either—until just four days before my visit. In this video, I explored the city of Qaraqosh (also known as Bakhdida), located about 32 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Mosul. Here, I connected with the local Christian community, learned about their unique culture, and witnessed the devastating impact left behind by ISIS on their lands. Before reaching Qaraqosh, I made an unexpected stop in the nearby city of Karamlesh, where I stumbled upon a monastery and had the chance to meet a monk who shared stories about the city's history and their peaceful way of life. One of the most emotional moments of this journey was visiting a wedding hall in Qaraqosh, where a tragic fire broke out during a celebration with nearly 1,000 guests—claiming the lives of around 13% of those in attendance and injuring many others. This experience was deeply moving and opened my eyes to a part of Iraq I never expected to discover. 💎 Join: https://youtube.com/emekatv90/join 📺 Patreon: patreon.com/EmekaIwueze 👕 Merch: https://ShopEmeka.com 💵 Tip Jar: paypal.me/Decraze90 📲 Sports Channel:    / emekareacts   📘 Facebook:   / emekaiwueze08   🐦 Twitter:   / emekaiwueze90   📷 Instagram:   / emekaiwueze   📲 TikTok: tiktok.com/@emekaiwueze Business Email: TheEmekaIwueze@gmail.com #iraq #Qaraqosh #Bakhdida #Karamlesh #ChristianVillage #culturalexperience #middleeast #travelvlog #hiddengems #history #IraqiCulture #localstories
