Now the Domari

Roma Foundation — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 06:59:23 +0000

The Dom (plural Domari), who are related to Rroma, stemming from the same Indian migration as them bu having remained in the Middle East instead of moving to the Balkans, are victims of the Syrian War. They are being killed by the Daech, and none of the current factions is really for them. Very much like the Syriac (Aramaic speaking Christians) or the Yazidi, they are the target of the extremists.

The first ones have now arrived in France.

The Rroma cousins, the Domari (or Doms) are fleeing the War in Syria. Their situation is really bad and without hope.

Middle East Doms

Middle Eastern Domari are demanding their rights. The Domari are Rroma’s cousins as they are those Rroma who did not cross the Bosphorus in the 10^th century and remained in the Middle East. They live in Jordania, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. In the latter country they are the victims of increasingly sectarian violence.
