FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On March 5, 1991 Kurdish civilians and rebels launched a mass uprising against Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath regime.
Saddam’s regime was infamous for its horrendous crimes against Iraqi civilians, especially Kurds and Shias, and its military aggressions against Iraq’s neighbors Iran and Kuwait.
Saddam ordered the use of chemical weapons against Kurdish civilians in the late 1980s.
Since the 1991 uprising, Iraq’s Kurdistan region achieved autonomy and has turned into a relatively prosperous region in northern Iraq after the toppling of Saddam in 2003.
“The uprising was of course unique in Kurdish history. The consequence of the uprising was Kurdistan’s regional government. Never before the Kurds were able to have a Kurdish regional government,” Jawad Qadir from Kurdish Globe and Hawlati newspapers said.
At the same time, some believe that the goals of the uprising have not been completely achieved. The region suffers from heavy unemployment, high levels of corruption and, reportedly, the lack of freedom of expression.
Iran received hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurdish refugees fleeing Saddam’s crackdown that followed the exit of NATO troops after the 1991 uprising.
