Basim Bello Explained

Basim Bello is the longest serving mayor of Tel Keppe District, Iraq.[1] An adherent of the Chaldean Catholic Church, Bello was a member of the Assyrian Democratic Movement,[2] until he split from the party in 2014.

In August 2017, he was deposed as mayor but was reinstated in August 2018.[3]

Facing demographic changes in his district, Bello advocated for religious minorities by saying in December 2019, “Our territories used to have a Christian trace, but that is not the case anymore” and “If the constitution is amended, our rights and protection must be included.”[4]
