The attacks against them increased before the parliamentary elections that took place on the seventh of March, and within10 days eight people were killed in Mosul, thus promoting them to migrate back towards safer areas, particularly in Kurdistan provinces.
Mosul is 405 km north of Baghdad with multi ethnic groups and nationalities, has been the scene of armed actions since the fall of the former regime in 2003, despite the application of more than one security plan, it is still instable especially after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from it at the end of last June.
