TELSKUF, IRAQ - NOVEMBER 05: Kurdish soldiers depart a military hospital set up in a former wedding hall on November 5, 2015 near the frontline with ISIS fighters in Telskuf, northern Iraq. They had been taking a Combat Lifesaver Course. All of the Telskuf's 11,000 predominantly Chaldean Catholic residents fled when it was overrun by the Islamic State in 2014 before being retaken by Peshmerga forces with the aid of American airstrikes. Of the 1,800 families that fled, some 40 percent left Iraq, according to Safaa Khamro, commander of the Nineveh Plain Forces (NPF), Christian militia. Many, he said, have now immigrated to Europe.
