Biography
About
Mustafa Barzani, also known as Mullah Mustafa, was born on 14 March 1903 and became one of the most prominent political figures in modern Kurdish politics. In 1946, he was chosen to lead the Kurdistan Democratic Party and launched a Kurdish revolt against the Kingdom of Iraq. For the next thirty years, he commanded the Kurdish separatist movement as both its military and political chief, directing campaigns of armed insurgency that crossed borders to challenge the Iraqi and Iranian governments alike. He died on 1 March 1979, sixteen days short of his seventy-sixth birthday.
