IRAQ. Kurds. 1974. 

Bruno Barbey 

The Democratic Party of the Iraqi Kurds (PDK) under the leadership of General Mollal Mustapha BARZANI, has been waging a war from 1961 to 1970 against Irak to suceed the Kurds autonomy - the Kurds composed roughly one third of the Iraqi population concentrated in the north of the country near the oils fields of Mossul. Finaly the peace concluded in 1970. But the autonomy and the other reforms have not been granted to Kurdistan and the revolution started in March 1974 under the same leadership of General Mollal Mustapha BARZANI, president of the Kurd Revolutionary Comittee of 9 which includes two of his sons, Idriss and Masrout BARZANI. The revolutionary forces of Kurdistan are estimated to be 45000 Peshmergas(freedom fighters) against 15000 in the first revolt.
