The Iraqi Diaspora refers to the communities of Iraqi people who have migrated from Iraq to other countries, often due to conflict, persecution, or economic hardship. This movement has significantly increased since the late 20th century, particularly after the Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Many Iraqis have settled in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, where they seek safety and better opportunities. The diaspora has led to the establishment of vibrant Iraqi communities abroad, preserving their culture, language, and traditions. These communities often engage in cultural events and support networks, helping new arrivals adjust to their new environments while maintaining connections to their homeland.
