Elbeğendi, Midyat

Elbeğendi (Kurdish: Xerabê Kefrê;[a] Syriac: Kafro Tahtoyo)[3][b] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Midyat, Mardin Province in Turkey.

[10] In 1914, Kafro Tahtoyo (today called Elbeğendi) was inhabited by 250 Assyrians, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.

[13] Amidst the Sayfo, the village was attacked and some survivors took refuge at the nearby Monastery of Mor Malke whilst others went to ‘Ayn-Wardo.

[14] Several hundred Christians at the Mor Malke Monastery, mostly refugees from Kafro Tahtoyo, retaliated and attacked Sheweske on 21 August.

[19] In late July 2019, Assyrian properties in Kafro Tahtoyo were struck by suspected arson attacks.
