Seyfo (or Sayfo)

Seyfo, also known as Sayfo, refers to the Assyrian Genocide that occurred during World War I, particularly between 1914 and 1920. It involved the systematic killing and displacement of Assyrian people by the Ottoman Empire. This tragic event resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Assyrians and led to the destruction of their communities and culture. Seyfo is a significant part of Assyrian history and identity, symbolizing their suffering and resilience, and is a reminder of the broader issues of ethnic violence and genocide that affect many communities around the world.
