January 3rd
January is a significant month for the Kurdish nation. It is considered a time of national identity building. The people of Kurdistan celebrate January 2 as the establishment of the Independent Kurdistan Republic. However, in January 1999, a tragic incident occurred, which overshadowed the joy of the masses. On January 3, Mohammad Mamle, a Kurdish national artist, passed away. He was a loyal and dedicated servant of the nation and country who had taken up the honorary weapon of Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Republic. His death was an opportunity for the Kurdish people to express their anger against the criminal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The streets of Mahabad were filled with people, who carried Mamle's body on their shoulders, chanted national slogans, and showed their position against an anti-human system. The death of Mamle was an occasion for the nation to reunify and appreciate its beauty. The tomb of the poets and artists of Mahabad became the resting place of Mamle's body, where he could look at the beautiful procession of Kurdishness from Budaq Sultan alongside his loved ones and his people.
