Chaldean diaspora

The Chaldean diaspora refers to the global dispersion of Chaldean Christians originally from northern Iraq, particularly from the ancient region of Mesopotamia. Due to political instability, violence, and economic hardship in Iraq, many Chaldeans migrated to countries such as the United States, Australia, and European nations. This migration has created communities of Chaldean descendants worldwide, preserving their religious, cultural, and linguistic traditions abroad while adapting to new environments. The diaspora plays a key role in maintaining their identity and supporting their community both locally and internationally.
