January 3rd

January is a significant month for Kurdistan. It is considered a time of national identity building. The people of Kurdistan celebrate January 2 as the establishment of the Independent Kurdistan Republic in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. However, in January 1999, a tragic incident occurred, which overshadowed the joy of the masses. On January 3, Mehemed Mamlê, a Kurdish national artist, passed away. He was a loyal and dedicated servant of the nation who had taken up the honorary weapon of Pêşmerge. His death was an opportunity for the Kurdish people living in Iran to express their anger against the criminal system of the Islamic Republic. The streets of Mehabad were filled with people, who carried Mamle's body on their shoulders, chanted national slogans, and showed their position against an oppressive regime. The tomb of the poets and artists of Mehabad became the resting place of Mamlê's body, where he could look at the beautiful procession of Kurdishness from Budaq Sultan alongside his loved ones and his people.
