Faily

Several tribes of Kurds are originally from Ilam, but have been living in Baghdad for nearly 400 years and have moved there due to a lack of jobs and economic conditions in Iran; Some people think that Faily means: Feat Ali means: Followers of Imam Ali and changed the term over years; There is another idea that Kurdish laborers in Baghdad were called Pala and Fala and the word became popular. But most importantly, the Failis are the Kurds who speak the Kalhuri or Palawi dialect, which Arabs changed into Fahlavi. Because the Failis are Shiites, Saddam Hussein persecuted them for being Shiites, and thousands of them were killed and deported to Iran. See the word Palawan.
