Baghdad - about 10,000 Christians who fled the northern Iraqi city of Mosul to the violent persecution of last fall are starting to return back RFE / RL 's Radio Free Iraq (RFI).
The priest of the Chaldean church in Mosul, Father Samir Elias, told RFE / RL 's Radio Free Iraq's violence last year was "a summer cloud that is now gone and that we hope will not come back."
He added that Muslims are helping to resettle the Christians in Mosul and that have so far protected the property.
Ramsay Micha Paulis, an official of the Chaldean Democratic Union and a member of the Nineveh provincial council told RFI that about 80% of Christians who fled have returned.
