What if Assyrians had settled in Brazil?

What if Assyrians had settled in Brazil? After the Simele Massacre of 1933, thousands of Assyrians were left displaced in refugee camps. The League of Nations sought a permanent home for them, and one proposal was to settle Assyrians in Paraná, Brazil. The Brazilian government agreed under four strict conditions: 1️⃣ Assyrians must disarm 2️⃣ Brazil held no fiscal responsibility 3️⃣ Work only in agriculture 4️⃣ Settlement would be gradual But media uproar in Brazil led to an immigration law banning Assyrians from entering. Other options followed, like British Guiana’s Rupununi Savannah, but those also failed. In 1948, leaders like Leon Dinkha Shimunaya, Malik Daniel Ismail, Malik Loko Badawi, and Yusuf Malek revisited the Brazil idea, even meeting government officials. Yet, opposition from church leadership ended the plan. Ultimately, Assyrians were resettled in Khabour, Syria, where they rebuilt villages and community life. So the question remains, What if Assyrians settled in Brazil? #Assyrian #AssyrianHistory #Simele #Brazil #Khabour
