I was born in 1955 in Quladiza, Kurdistan of Iraq. When I was young, under the influence of my family, especially my father, I was inclined towards communism and socialism. So under this type of ideology I started to write, first poems and social articles those were published in the communist party magazines. In 1980 Iran- Iraq war broke out. Like all other young people I had to join the army and go to the battlefield. I declined and joined Kurdish rebellion fighting against Saddam Hussein Regime. For Almost four years I lived in a very harsh condition among the Kurdistan Mountains in the Iran- Iraq borders. In 1984, following an intense conflict along with a group of people, we were forcefully entered the Iran soil, and there I applied for political asylum and never returned back to Iraq. In Iran I restarted writing literature articles, and they were published in the "Serwah" magazine. "Serwah" was published in Orumieh city-Iran under editorial of "Hemen" the great famous Kurdish poet. In 1984 my first Novel, called Three Nights in Jail, was published that later on I regretted writing it since it had a very weak literary context. Even though later on it was translated in Farsi. In 1985, I met my future wife, Chimen, and married together the same year. It was a pivot point in my life, since she was a great book reader and till now she has been a great support for my writing. More importantly with her assistance I learned Farsi language that opened the doors of Farsi literature to me. The fruit of our marriage was two boys ( Ribaz and Dydar) who live separately from us. In 1986, with the help of my wife, I translated a short story called (Hiroshima Kids) from Farsi to Kurdish that was published in Iran. In 1987 I wrote a story book called "Shilan" that was printed and published in Iran. In 1989, my family and I immigrated to former Soviet Union. There, we saw the realities of life in USSR that was completely different from my assumption that I had in my mind. As a result I went through a big ideological transformation. In 1992 my family and I took refugee status in Netherland. After a short period I restarted writing in Netherland. I wrote a set of literary critical articles. Also I reviewed and commented the products of present poets that were published in European magazines. Later on along with above, following significant changes in the Middle East and Iraq and Kurdistan I wrote articles about political philosophy ad sociology and it still continues.
