Just after Francis denounced lockdown protestors, he announces a visit to Iraq in a few months?

The Christian community in Iraq was numbered 1.4 million before the American led invasion in 2003, now it is just over 300,000.

Barham Salih, president of Iraq: "His Holiness the Pope will visit Iraq in March 2021. The journey of Pope Francis to Mesopotamia- cradle of civilization, birthplace of Abraham, father of the faithful- will be a message of peace to Iraqis of all religions & serve to affirm our common values of justice & dignity"
