Veteran Peshmerga Cadre Reza Kheyati Passed Away The PDKI is saddened to announce that veteran Peshmerga Cadre Reza Keyati passed away yesterday, November 16. Kheyati died at the age of 80. Reza Kheyati, who was of Azeri Turkish descent, was a Peshmerga for 33 years and struggled side by side of his Kurdish sisters and brothers for freedom and democracy for all nations in Iran. Reza Kheyati was born in the town of Khoy, but moved to Mahabad in the mid-1970’s. He joined the PDKI and became a Peshmerga after the revolution in 1979. Kheyati was responsible for broadcasting the PDKI’s radio station the “Voice of Kurdistan” during three decades. Even during the hardest times, Kheyati made sure that the Iranian regime did not succeed in its concerted efforts to jam and stop the radio’s broadcasts. On numerous occasions Kehyati would, together with a few other Peshmergas, move the radio’s broadcasting instruments on horseback through the mountains of Kurdistan in order to avoid shelling and bombardment from the military forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Kheyati was buried among his fellow Peshmergas and family in the Azadi Martyrs Graveyard today, November 17. The PDKI sends its heartfelt condolences to the Kheyati family, his fellow Peshmergas and all PDKI members for their loss. His memory will live on in the hearts and minds of the Kurdish people forever.

I find this picture weird, this is Mame Risha holding a speech, but look at the photos. Marxist/Communist leaders. Why is this weird? Because Mame Risha was a devote muslim, why would he represent an atheist ideology? |

It's economic Communism. Kurds are naturally socialistic and left wing orientated economically. |

In the early 1980's, a high Arab Ba'athist commander visited Slemani to celebrate the anniversary of the Ba'ath party. He was also visiting the city to inspect if what the local commanders claimed about the Peshmerga & the Kurdish population were true. The local commanders had claimed that there was no such thing as ''Peshmerga'' and that the insurgency in Slemani was at an extremely low level. The Kurdish Higher Command, at the time the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, got hold of this information and decided to give the Arab Ba'athist commander from Baghdad 'a warm welcome'. Four Peshmerga 'Army's' (qart) were send to Slemani the night before the Ba'ath Party celebration. Each qart consisted of +/- 125 Peshmerga. Over 500 Kurdish Peshmerga entered Slemani that night. Every Ba'athist (out)post in and around Slemani was attacked by RPG's, heavy machine guns, snipers and mortars. The lower levels of the famous hotel 'Hasim Saleh' burned down after being hit by an PRG (a friend of my father fired the rocket). Even the Ba'ath security headquarters was furiously hit. Kurdish civilians at the outskirts of Slemani organized parties for the Peshmerga. Kurds all over Slemani went outside and celebrated the arrival of the brave Peshmerga warriors. Bread, meat, and drinks were prepared for the fighters. Nationalistic and patriotic Kurdish songs were played on the streets, and Farhad Sangawi (broadcaster) was heard live on the radio 'Voice of Kurdistan.' In the mid 1970's, the Ba'ath party ordered the construction of a road around the city of Slemani. This road was constructed to prevent Peshmerga from getting in, or out Slemani easily. The road was also constructed to transport military units (tanks, artillery, troops) easier. The Ba'athist Higher Command send thousands of soldiers, armoured infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks to the outskirts of Slemani during the night of the attack. They wanted to ambush the attacking Peshmerga on their return to the mountains. My father participated in this legendary attack on the Arab forces in Slemani. When his unit (every larger Peshmerga unit was divided into smaller groups of 8-16 Peshmerga) decided to return, they saw an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and 2 military transport vehicles approaching. These forces were part of the reinforcements the Ba'athist send to intercept the returning Peshmerga. The Peshmerga had always forces on the other side of the road to inform them about incoming Arab units (to set up an ambush if necessary). My father's unit contacted two Peshmerga fighters on the other side of the road, and they decided to let the IFV pass since they didn't had an RPG with them. Once the IFV passed, my father's unit (9 or 10 Peshmerga in total) launched the ambush on the two transport vehicles. Every single soldier in those trucks was killed within 5 to 10 minutes. I am not sure how many exactly, but there were 2 or 3 soldiers in front of each truck, and probably 12-20 in the back of each truck. So the total must have been between 28 and 46 soldiers. And this was done by just 9-10 Peshmerga, the ambush was not even part of the initial (major) assault. I am not sure how many soldiers were killed that night, but it must have been in the high hundreds (700-1,000) or even over 1,000. The celebration was cancelled.

It's beautiful, but also sad at the same time, to see that Kurds from all ages and genders have been involved in the struggle for the liberation of our homeland. Old Veteran from the 1950's and 1960's: |
