for a liberated Kurdistan. The revolutionary activist
Osman Sabri was released and he killed the traitor in
public according to the will. Then he went to the mountains
of his tribe’s area to declare a revolution. However,

was of these colours: red at the top, green in the bottom
and the white colour in between with the shining sun of
Kurdistan in the middle in yellow. This was the same
flag presented by General Sherif Pasha to the Peace
