In 1940, He escaped to Iraq as a refugee due to Sheikh Ahmed's assistance and the brutality of the Turkish government.

In 1943 he joined the ranks of the Second Barzan Revolution. On 20 October 1943, he participated in the conquest of Zet police station and on 10 November 1943, he participated in the conquest of Mazne police station. On August 19, 1945, all his property was confiscated by order of the Iraqi Military Customary Court.

After the collapse of the Second Barzan Revolution on October 11, 1945, he moved to East Kurdistan. On 31 March 1946, he served as a Peshmerga in the Barzan force of the Kurdistan Democratic Republic Army in Mahabad. He participated in artillery courses in Tehran. He was affiliated in a number of fights, such as those in the Kurdistan Democratic Republic at Sanaa, Sangan, Dorba, and Kevi Zardi on April 29, 1946, and at Saqiz and Malqarani on May 3, 1946.  Following the dissolution of the Kurdistan Democratic Republic on March 3, 1947, he took part in the Battle of Nalos and the Battle of Naghdeh and Shino on March 19, 1947.  After that on 24 March 1947, he participated in the Battle of Halaj. He was one of the Peshmergas who returned to Sherwan and Mazuri on 19/4/1947 through Khawkurk and Dashti Barazgar.

After their return on May 15, 1947, General Mustafa Barzani convenes a conference with his comrades in the village of Argush, and he gives them the option of remaining in Kurdistan or going to the Soviet Union. As a result, on April 23, 1947, Piro Hamad Ibrahim left for the Soviet Union alongside Mustafa Barzani. After that, he was engaged in the Gali Qtur and Prdi Mako fights. After a long and much difficulty, on June 18, 1947, on the Iranian-Soviet border, Mula Mustafa Barzani and his force crossed the Aras River. 

Following their arrival in to Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan on June 19th, 1947, Mustafa Barzani and all of his companions were imprisoned for forty days. In fact, they were given the same treatment as prisoners of war in terms of food, clothing, and transportation while living in a camp which was surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by soldiers. Not long after, by decision of the Soviet Union government, they were divided into groups and transferred to the regions of Aghdam, Lachin, Ayulakh and Kalbajar in the Republic of Azerbaijan. By December 10, 1947, they were moved to a military base on the Caspian Sea in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.  On the 23rd of the same month on the Caspian Sea in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Barzani's followers were organized into a military regiment and received training in military tactics and politics and taught to read and write Kurdish by their other educated Peshmarga.

As a result of Jafar Bakirov's mistreatment, On August 29, 1948, Mula Mustafa Barzani made the decision to relocate his military camp from Azerbaijan to the village of Chirchuk close to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, where they sustained their military training. 

Following that, in March 1949, Mula Mustafa and his friends were split up into groups and sent by rail to the countryside of the Soviet Union, where they worked on the kolkhozes' crops. (Land that people rented from the government and then returned to it).

Finally after much effort and sending several letters by General Barzani to Stalin, Stalin finally received a letter in which Barzani talked about the suffering of his comrades. Stalin immediately decided to form a committee to investigate the situation of Barzani's comrades. When the committee investigated the situation of Barzani's comrades, they decided to gather them all in Vrievsky. As a result on November 1951, he went to Vrevsky, Soviet Union.
