The '''Assyrian Democratic Movement''' ('''ADM''') also known as ''Zowaa'' is an ethnic [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]] political party in [[Iraq]], and is currently the only Assyrian-based political party to be voting in the [[Council of Representatives of Iraq|Iraqi parliament]].

The party was established on [[April 12]], [[1979]] to satisfy the political objectives of the [[Assyrian people]] in Iraq, in response to the oppressive brutality of the [[Baath Party|Al-Baath]] regime and its attempts to forcibly expropriate ethnic Assyrians from their native lands. The movement took up armed struggle against the Iraqi regime in 1982 under the leadership of [[Yunadam Kanna]], and joined the IKF in early 1990s. Yonadam Kanna in particular was a target of the Saddam Hussein Ba'ath regime for many years.

==Prior to the Iraqi invasion==
Due to successful lobbying from influential [[Assyrians in the United States|Assyrian-Americans]] and from Congressman [[Henry Hyde]], American President [[George W. Bush]] designated the ADM an officially recognized Iraqi opposition movement. In a [[December 9]], [[2002]] memorandum, President Bush invoked both articles four and five of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 as a means of allowing the United States government to provide financial resources to the ADM and other Iraqi opposition groups. Kanna himself participated in a September 2002 meeting of Iraqi opposition leaders in New York and addressed the London conference of Iraqi opposition leaders in December 2002. In February 2003, Kanna addressed both Iraqi opposition leaders and U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad at a conference in northern Iraq. Just hours prior to the American-led war against Iraq in March 2003, Kanna stressed the importance of the coming war for the history of the Assyrian people. He noted that some Assyrians were leaving the cities for the villages and urged diaspora Assyrians to provide humanitarian aid to their brethren.

==After the fall of Baghdad==
Yonadam Kanna is now the president of the party. He served on the temporary [[Iraqi Governing Council]] before it was disbanded in favor of the elected body formed after the January 2005 [[Iraqi elections]].

The party's website, zowaa.org, describes it as "a democratic and political organization -- national and patriotic -- to defend our people and their legitimate rights and to struggle under the banner of [a] free democratic Iraq." The site's declarations include calls for official recognition of the rights of Assyrians and "unity of our people under their several identities": Chaldean, Syriac, and Assyrian (various Christian denominations in the Assyrian demographic). The group supports the idea of a federal Iraq, and is on good relations with other Assyrian and Kurdish groups present in northern Iraq, as well as with Shi'a leaders in southern Iraq. The movement is also represented in the [[Kurdistan Regional Government|Kurdistan parliament]]. Party members and Assyrians in general have been the focus of some insurgent attacks in the time since the fall of [[Saddam Hussein]].

The party also operates [[Ashur TV]] and [[Ashur Radio]].

==Post War tragedies==
The party has been hit with many setbacks since the beginning of the Iraq invasion.
*On October 20, 2003, reports indicated of a rocket-propelled grenade attack on the ADM office of [[Kirkuk]], injuring one member official.
*On November 18, 2003, Sargon Nano, the ADM representative in [[Basra]], was killed by masked gunmen.
*On February 11, 2004, The [[Associated Press]] reported gunmen firing from a car attacking an office of the ADM in northern city of [[Mosul]], injuring one ADM member guard.

*On March 26, 2004, gunmen killed ADM official Romeo Esha David in the northern city of Kirkuk.
*On November 29, 2005, gunmen opened fire on four party members as they were hanging Iraqi election posters in northern city of [[Mosul]] (in the al-Shuhadaa district,) killing two ADM members.
*On December 2, 2005, ADM election candidate Sarmad Bihnam Ibrahim was gunned down in [[Kirkuk]].
*On January 1, 2006, 44-year old ADM official Ayad Loqa Lazar was killed in the [[Baghdad]] district of Dora.
*On May 6, 2006, an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the party's leader, [[Yonadam Kanna]], as his convoy came under improvised explosive device attack in Baghdad.

'''Ankawa''' ([[Syrische Sprache|assyrisch]]: '''ܥܢܟܒܐ'''; {{arS|عنكاوا|d=ʿAnkāwā}}) ist eine Vorstadt von [[Arbil]] im [[Irak]], in der schätzungsweise über 20.000 Menschen leben. Die überwiegende Mehrheit gehört dem Volk der [[Chaldäer]], [[Assyrer (Gegenwart)|Assyrer]] und [[Syrer]] an und ist [[Christen|christlich]]. Es ist auch eines der ältesten christlichen Ansiedlungen im Irak.

Die Vorstadt wird zunehmend ausgebaut, z.B. wird neben den derzeitigen drei Kirchen der Vorstadt (Mar Joseph, Mar Elia und Mar Giorgis) eine [[Assyrer (Gegenwart)|assyrische]] Kirche gebaut. Die Vorstadt liegt außerdem neben dem neu gebauten Internationalen [[Flughafen Arbil]].

Aus der Vorstadt gibt es viele Flüchtlinge, da die Lage der [[Christen]] im Irak nicht ganz sicher ist. Die Mehrheit der Flüchtlinge, die Ankawa in letzter Zeit verließen, lebt überwiegend mit ca. 3000 Flüchtlingen in [[Schweden]], es folgen [[Australien]], die [[USA]] und [[Kanada]], auch ist eine große Mehrheit in anderen Ländern [[Europa]]s "zerstreut".

Jedoch ist Ankawa im Gegensatz zu anderen Orten im Irak sicherer für [[Christen]]. Deshalb fliehen Christen aus Städten wie [[Bagdad]], [[Mosul]] und [[Basra]] nach Ankawa, um entweder dort zu leben oder um ins Ausland zu gelangen. Im letzten Jahr wurden weit mehr als 250 Familien gezählt, die aus diesen Städten nach Ankawa geflohen sind.
