Reasons for holding a conference

After the situation in Iraq changed, relations between the Kurdish leadership and Iraqi President Abdul Karim Qassim deteriorated. On September 11, 1961, the decision was made to launch the (Aylul) September National Revolution against the government's oppression. With the outbreak of the revolution, the party and organizational work once again took on a secret form and activities continued in secret. The Iraqi government began to expel and arrest the party members, including members of the Kurdistan Students Union largely, especially those who were studying in colleges in Baghdad and south of Iraq. During this period, a large number of members of the Kurdistan Students Union, from the leadership of the organization downwards, joined the revolution and went to the mountains of Kurdistan1.

Conducting the conference

As a result of the arrest and martyrdom of some of its leaders and members, in March 1962, in order to reorganize themselves and assess the situation imposed on the organization, the Kurdistan Students Union held a secret conference in Baghdad and issued several decisions. In this conference, Haider Hamza continued his struggle in the ranks of the Kurdistan Students Union as the secretary and the delegates of the conference elected a new secretariat as follows:

1- Sarwar Kaka Hama

2- Maimun Dabagh

3- Ahmed Sharif Lak

4- Haider Hamza

5- Fuad Mullah Mahmoud

6- Adel Nasser

7- Tayeb Jabbar Barwari

8- Hikmat Khanaqini2.

The most important decisions of the conference were: to support the Kurdish revolution and its leader and to provide what they can to the Peshmerga forces. Organizing new students into the ranks of the revolution. Paying attention to the participation of Kurdish students in professional and academic organizations3.
