Kurdshop - Very little information has been published about the uprising and heroism of Broye Haske across the border of the East part of Kurdistan, but Mohammad Saleh Qaderi in his book entitled "Amar Khan Shikak" has unveiled many important and hidden issues that one is the uprising of Broye Haske in East part of Kurdistan and little Agri. In this section, I have tried to make more use of the book.
When the Agri uprising was suppressed by the Kemalists, the Agri fighters tried to open a road and went across the East part of Kurdistan after a great battle. They encountered Reza Shah's forces in Maku, and Reza Shah's forces asked the Agri fighters to surrender themselves and leave their revolution. Broye Haske, Farzanda Bag, and Abdulqader, along with hundreds of Agri fighters and their families living in the Maku region, did not surrender to Iranian forces and continued their resistance with the support of the Jalali and Haidarani tribes in the east.
After a while, Iranian forces attacked the fighters of Broye Haske and faced a major battle that ended in victory for the Kurdish fighters; after the war, there were occasional clashes between the Agri fighters and Iranian forces for nearly two years.
When the Reza Shah's regime saw that he could not defeat the Kurdish forces, asked Amar Khan in 1931 to help them.
Regarding Amar Khan's decision at the request of Reza Shah's regime, Mohammad Saleh Qaderi writes in his book, Amar Khan Shikak: “At this request of Iran, Amar Khan did not want to go to war against the Agri revolutionaries. However, the Iranian state did not abandon the Shikaks who fought against the state during the Simko Revolution. After pressure from the Iranian state, Amar Khan agreed to go to the battlefield with the forces on the condition that he complied; it was that the Shikak forces stay there and the Iranian soldiers should leave there. The Iranian state accepted Amar Khan's conditions and they stationed themselves around Agri with their forces. When the forces of Amar Khan and Shikaks were forced by the Iranian state to station themselves in Agri, after a short time there, Amar Khan secretly sent a delegation to meet with Broye Haske. Broye Haske also accepted Amar Khan's request and they met at the designated place. At the meeting, Amar Khan tells Broye Haske, "Are you aware of the Iranian government's statement that if Broye Haske and his fighters stop the revolution and hand over their weapons, we will provide them with security and protect their lives!?"
After Amar Khan's words, Broye Haske became very disappointed and said to him: “Amar Khan! Do you mean to surrender to Iran and give my weapon to my enemy!? Let the Iranian government know that only when I am killed, they can get my weapons from my body." Hearing Broye Haske's brave words and revolutionary attitude, Amar Khan said, "Bravo, brother. We are all Kurds and we did not come here of our own free will and our hearts are with you."
According to historical sources, at that time, Amar Khan promised Broye Haske to keep the roads to the villages around Agri open from Iran so that they could bring their food and supplies to the Agri battlefield.
It is known that when Amar Khan was in the area, there was no fighting between the fighters of Agri and the regime forces for six months.
At that time, Reza Shah's regime decided to Amar Khan withdraw his forces from the area because he had been there for six months without any fighting and could not hand Broye Haske's forces over.
After the withdrawal of Amar Khan's forces from Agri, Iranian military officials moved with another force.
In the book Amar Khan Shikak by Mohammad Saleh Qaderi, it is written: “Reza Shah asked General Mohammad Amin Psakha and Hassan Hanara to merge their, and they accepted and went to Agri region with a small force of Shikaks. In order to attract the attention of the occupying regime, they blocked most of the roads to the revolutionaries of Agri and the villages around Agri.”
Broye Haske was informed of this heinous act by General and Hassan Hanara, and he asked them not to fight with the fighters of Agri, but they refused this and insisted on attacking the Agri forces.
After a while, Broye Haske asked to meet with General Mohammed Amin Psakha and Hassan Hanara, who accepted; but they were thinking of a plan to kill Haske.
In the book, Amar Khan Shikak by Mohammad Saleh Qaderi, is written, “After a few days, Broye Haske went with a group of fighters to see General Mohammad Amin Pasakha and Hassan Hanara. However, on the way, they were ambushed by Hassan Hanare's forces in the Darband Valley near Mount Qojadakh and opened fire on the Agri fighters. Broye Haske was wounded and after a short battle, Haske and a number of Agri revolutionaries were martyred. The news of Haske's death caused great disappointment among the fighters of Ararat and Jalali.”
The uprising was suppressed by the treachery of the traitorous Kurds and the name and memory of Broye Haske entered the history of Kurds and Kurdistan as a fighter for the liberation of Kurdistan.
