ARK News... on Monday, October 4, 2021, the militant Omar Muhammad Darwish, one of the national figures and participants of the glorious September revolution, departed in the city of Zakho in the Kurdistan Region.

Omar Muhammad Darwish, one of the glorious September Revolutionaries in 1961, led by the immortal Barzani, lost his life after suffering from illness in the city of Zakho.

A brief about his life:
Omar Muhammad Darwish was born in Zummar in 1954, to a family known for its patriotism and its support for the Kurdish liberation movement. He joined the September Revolution when he was in the prime of his youth to join his older brother Qassem Muhammad Darwish, who was one of the first Peshmerga to join the revolution, along with a group of young men of his generation in the region.

Because of their joining the revolution, his parents were arrested and exiled to Faw prison in southern Iraq. After the setback of the September revolution, he fled with his family to Syrian Kurdistan.

After the outbreak of the 1991 uprising, he also did not hesitate to participate in it and remained faithful to the immortal Barzani's approach until his death in the city of Zakho.
