Ubaidullah Barzani
Ubaidullah Barzani , more rarely Ubayd Allah al-Barzani ( Arabic عبيد الله البارزاني, DMG ʿUbaid Allāh al-Bārizānī ; Kurdish عوبەیدوڵڵا بارزانی; * 1927 or 1933 in Barzan , Iraq ; † 1980 in Baghdad , Iraq) was a Kurdish politician in Iraq.
Ubaidullah was the eldest son of Molla Mustafa Barzani and thus brother of Idris Barzani and Masud Barzani . Ubaidallah was exiled from 1947 to 1955, first to Basra , then from 1955 to 1958 to Baghdad, where he was actually held hostage under house arrest.
After the coup d'état, Abd al-Karim Qasim was released and active in the Kurdistan Democratic Party . Soon he became a member of the Barzani-loyal Politburo. Ubaidullah fell out with his father in 1971 over the autonomy agreement with the Iraqi central government, which Mustafa Barzani rejected, and also with the DPK among themselves. After a short stay in Algeria in 1973, Ubaidullah joined the so-called Neo-KDP founded by Haschim Aqrawi and Aziz Aqrawi and became Minister of State in the central government in Baghdad from April 1974 to 1977 and from 1978 to 1980 as part of the National Progressive Front .
In 1980 he was murdered under circumstances that have not yet been clarified.
