@mehrzadbakuri: 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚: He was born in the village of Talaban near Kirkuk into a poor Sunni Kurdish family from the town of Chamchamal. Risha was born in a village belonging to the Cebari tribe. He was described as illiterate and a nuejker (Central Kurdish: someone who is meticulous about Islamic prayer). As a teenager, his village was raided by the Iraqi military. Angered by what he witnessed during the raid, he would go on to join the PUK, quickly gaining a reputation as a fearless fighter. Later, as commander of the Garmiyan battalion, he was celebrated for his military prowess due to how he would organise ambushes and raids on Iraqi military columns. He initially fought in the ranks of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1970. The failure of the Kurdish autonomy agreement with the Iraqi government and the initiation of the Arabization policy by the Baath Party in the Kurdish regions of Kirkuk and Khanaqin ultimately led to the outbreak of the Second Iraqi–Kurdish War in 1975. Barzani's defeat in this war led to the founding of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), which Risha joined. De*th: Shorof, during the 2018 interview, explained how Najmadin had died in an ambush following a skirmish with Iraqi soldiers near Laylan, Kirkuk Governorate. Shorof recounted that as Najmadin was returning from the skirmish, a Kurdish jash working with the Iraqi government invited him to the spy's house. Unsuspecting, and believing the friendship offered by his fellow countryman was sincere, he entered the house and was ambushed and gunned down by a machine gun. #kurdistan #kurd
