Dora, Baghdad
Dora (also al-Dura, or ad-Durah, Arabic,الدورة) is a neighborhood in Al Rashid administrative district, southern Baghdad, Iraq. Although this was a majority Assyrian Christian neighborhood, it became controlled by Sunni Muslim Extremists during the Iraq War. They started ethnic cleansing of the neighborhood in 2006-2007, driving out or forcing conversions and confiscating or attacking property. Hundreds of Christian, Shia and Mandeans families have fled since late 2006 due to ''de facto'' Islamist Sunni control of the area. It became an al-Qaeda stronghold as affiliated foreign Islamic fighters entered the country after 2004.〔(Liz Sly, "Iraqi Christians Flee Baghdad" ), ''Chicago Tribune'', reprinted by Assyrian International News Agency〕 United States soldiers once called it "the most dangerous place in Iraq" until they were driven out.
==History==
The area was largely uninhabited until the 1950s when Assyrians from Habbaniya started settling down in Baghdad. Most houses and churches were built during the 1960s and 1970s while the booming neighbourhood attracted more middle-class families. Prior to the Iraq War the area was home to the largest concentration of Assyrian Christians and Mandeans as well as mixed Sunni and Shi'ite families.〔Solomon (Sawa) Solomon, (THE GENESIS OF THE MODERN ASSYRIAN COMMUNITY OF BAGHDAD ), Assyrian Information Medium Exchange〕
