صدام چگونه به قدرت رسید؟

Qadisiyyah was a battle in which the Muslim Arabs inflicted the greatest defeat on the Sassanid army in 636 AD. With this victory, the era of the ancient Iranian empire ended. That is why the word Qadisiyyah has special significance for the Arabs. music by: @ScottBuckley musicbyscottb Kevin MacLeod Follow us on social media: Instagram:   / deep.podcast   Telegram Channel: Https://www.telegram.me/deeppodcast When we know this historical fact, we will understand what the story was about when Saddam gave himself the title of Commander of Qadisiyyah. Saddam compared the Iran-Iraq War to the Battle of Qadisiyyah. But this time the story was very different. Saddam was fighting an Iranian army whose 95 percent of its population had converted to Islam. To recreate the atmosphere of that era for his soldiers, Saddam had said that we were going to war with the army of the Magi, which meant the Iranians. He never said that we were fighting on the eastern borders. He always used the term eastern gate. In a historic speech on September 16, 1970, just 5 days before the war began, he claimed that he wanted to guard the eastern gate of Arab territory. Mohammad Reza Shah, who had no interest in Saddam's rise to power, began arming the Kurdish forces and sending them weapons. His goal was to weaken Saddam's government through the Kurds. The Kurds became very powerful with the weapons they received. They already had a lot of resentment towards Saddam. For this reason, a fierce war broke out between the Kurds and the Baathist forces on the orders of Mustafa Barzani. The Kurds were so impressive in this war that almost 80% of the way to the fall of the Baath Party had been covered. Saddam knew that the only way out of this disaster was to come to terms with Mohammad Reza Shah so that Iran would no longer supply weapons to the anti-Baath forces. Saddam Hussein asked Anwar Sadat in Egypt and Boumediene in Algeria to mediate between Iran and Iraq. On March 5, 1975, Saddam, in his extreme weakness and humiliation, signed an agreement with Iran. According to this agreement, Iran would no longer support the Kurds and Saddam recognized all Iranian rights to the Arvand River. According to international law, this waterway became the official border between Iran and Iraq. After this agreement, Barzani lost his main ally. He left Iraq and never returned to Iraq, dying in 1979. After signing the Algiers Agreement and eliminating internal problems, Saddam saw the path to achieving his ambitious desires clear. Saddam Hussein became the number one person in Iraq in the summer of 1979 and officially took power. Now, how he wanted to assassinate him also had an interesting story. Saddam told a journalist to go and interview Barzani. He also gave him a camera. While the camera was planted with explosives and the journalist's soul had no idea about the matter. Saddam had told the journalist to take some good, close-up photos of the merchant. That is, to bring the camera close to him and then press the button. When the button was pressed, the entire room would explode. The journalist did the same thing without anyone knowing. He approached Barzani to take a photo. When he pressed the button, the camera exploded. Barzani escaped unharmed, but his personal servant was killed in the explosion. All this showed that Saddam was not a trustworthy person at all. At the same time, Saddam did something that shocked the British. Iraq's oil was in the hands of a British company, but Saddam nationalized it. Britain and its Western partners, who had not expected such a move, embargoed Iraqi oil. This action severely worsened Iraq's financial situation, but Saddam was not one to give up. For this reason, he continued to declare that oil would remain national and the world would have to come to terms with this. The Iraqi people, who had been humiliated for a long time and everything was in the hands of foreigners, took to the streets with enthusiasm upon hearing of the nationalization of oil. Saddam's picture was everywhere, and for many Arab countries, Saddam had become a symbol of the fight against imperialism. Thus, a 15-article document was drawn up and signed by both parties. In this document, Saddam recognized the autonomy of the Kurds, but this move was a deception. Saddam himself abandoned this treaty and began to massacre the Kurds worse than before. In 1971, he even wanted to assassinate Mustafa Barzani. Saddam executed his opponents in the main squares of the city in order to create fear among the Iraqi people. Meanwhile, some religious leaders opposed Saddam. People who had strong popular bases. But Saddam did not spare these people either. One of these people was an influential cleric named Mohsen al-Hakim. Saddam did not allow people to have any more contact with this cleric, and twenty years later, the son of this cleric named Mehdi al-Hakim was murdered in a hotel in Khartoum. Despite all this, Saddam was still t...
