Sarsing
Sarsing is sub-district part of Amedi district in the province of Dohuk, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
The name "Sarsing" came from the location of the village, which is at one of the highest altitudes in Iraq on a cliff in the Gara Mountains. While being majority Kurdish, the town has an Assyrian minority.History
Sarsing was built in 1922 on top of an older Assyrian village and was known for its two churches: Mar Matti and Mar Gewargis. The village was exclusively populated by Assyrians until the early 1990s, when, after Masoud Barzani allegedly requested the Assyrians of Sarsing to host internally displaced Kurdish families, there were land grabs by the Kurdish families and Kurdification. As of 2017, there were 118 Assyrian households in Sarsing and 2,000 Kurdish households.
