Zowaa
Zowaa is the official name of the Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM). The organization was created in 1979 by Assyrian members of Kurdish leading parties in Northern Iraq. In breaking away from the Kurdish/Iraqi political parties, Zowaa members claimed they represented the majority of Christians in Iraq. Before becoming an entity of its own, Zowaa took arms against the Iraqi government along side the Kurdish Peshmerga (separatists). Today Zowaa is in full swing with the American government and the international arena. They represent Assyrians (majority), Chaldeans, Chaldo-Assyrians, Syriacs and all other Christian groups living in the MiddlEastern diaspora. It is also one of the smaller groups that is represented in the newly installed Iraqi governemnt. Out of all the groups that are indicated in the new Iraq government (Shi'ite, Sunni, Kurds, Turkman etc.), Zowaa has proven to be the most representative of any actual democratic party thirsting for a democratic Iraqi state. The current leader of Zowaa is Yonadam Kanna. He has a few offices around the world and in Baghdad, Mosul, Basra (Iraq). In taking over the former Ba'athist Olympic facilities as his new office building in Baghdad, Kana revealed unrelenting evidence of Saddam Hussein's son's torture centers. He was content to show the world that fleeting Iraqi reports of inhumane abuses that seemed mythically unimaginable were unfortunatley true.
