History
After the Assyrian genocide in the First World War, Badarash was settled by Assyrian refugees of the Baz clan from modern-day Turkey in the 1920s, all of whom belonged either to the Church of the East or the Chaldean Catholic Church.Template:Sfnp The church of Mar Gewargis was constructed in 1925, and by 1938, 152 people inhabited the village, with 27 families.Template:Sfnp Badarash was destroyed and its population expelled by the Iraqi government at the onset of the First Iraqi–Kurdish War in 1961, prior to which the village had 30 houses.[1] Villagers later returned, but Badarash was destroyed again during the Al-Anfal campaign in 1987.Template:Sfnp
The village was rebuilt again, and the population of the village reached 40 families by 2004.Template:Sfnp Violence against Assyrians in urban centres of Iraq led 102 displaced Assyrians, with 27 families, to seek refuge in Badarash by early 2009.[3] By 2012 the Supreme Committee of Christian Affairs had constructed 48 houses and a community hall.[1] Humanitarian aid was delivered to Badarash by the Assyrian Aid Society in May 2015.[4] The village's graveyard was renovated by the French non-governmental organisation SOS Chrétiens d'Orient in 2018.[5]
In May 2022, a group of Kurdish men from the Kurdistan Democratic Party came back to the village and began to place fences, and claimed the land belonged to them.[6] The Assyrians resisted them and attempted to obstruct them from raising the wall, claiming that it was their land. This incident transpired in a confrontation between the two groups, where the police arrested two Assyrians who were filming the incident and the Kurdish group involved in the altercation. Although the incident was a minor one, it created an emotional reaction among Assyrians worldwide on social media.[7] The CSW condemned the Kurdistan Regional Government after the incident.[6]
