Khalil Amin Jalil Haji

Khalil Amin Jalil Haji was born in 1955 in Hitot village, located in the Amedi district of Duhok province. He was raised in a family deeply committed to the Kurdish cause; his father, Amin Jalil, served as a Peshmerga during the Aylul Revolution alongside Hasso Mirkhan Dolamari. This legacy of resistance and dedication had a profound impact on Khalil Amin from a young age. At just twelve years old, Khalil Amin followed in his father's footsteps by joining the Peshmergas of Barzani's headquarters

In 1975, following the collapse of the Aylul Revolution, Khalil Amin Jalil Haji moved to Naghdeh and later relocated to Tehran. His commitment to the Kurdish cause remained steadfast, and in 1977, he was appointed deputy of the Martyr Ahmad Adam Organization within the committee of the Amedi area of the first region. After the death of Mustafa Barzani in 1979, Khalil Amin became a member of the Amedi Regional Committee, where he made a solemn vow not to shave his head until either he was martyred or Kurdistan was liberated. True to his word, he did not shave his head until 1991, when the great uprising of South Kurdistan took place.

During the infamous Anfal campaign and chemical attack on Badinan in 1988, Khalil Amin, along with a large number of Peshmergas and local people, moved to North Kurdistan and was subsequently transferred to the Mosh refugee camp. Despite the hardships, Khalil Amin continued to demonstrate his unwavering dedication to the Kurdish cause by participating in several key battles, including the Battle of Kani Mase, the Battle of Sotk, and the Battle of Bamarne in Duhok province. His bravery in these conflicts was evident as he sustained wounds five times during his service.

In recognition of his remarkable contributions and enduring commitment to the Kurdish struggle, Khalil Amin Jalil Haji was awarded the prestigious Barzani Medal by President Masoud Barzani at the 13th Congress in 2010. His legacy is one of steadfast dedication and sacrifice for the liberation of Kurdistan.
