This research paper examines the evolving conflict dynamics in Telkeyf, Iraq, offering insights into local conflicts, conflict resolution mechanisms, and community visions for peace. Unlike commonly assumed ethno-religious divisions, the study finds that the key fault line in Telkeyf runs between so-called "original" families—both Christian and Arab—and more recent arrivals. The demographic shifts, exacerbated by the presence of armed actors and political interference, have created a deep sense of mistrust among residents.
