On October 20, 1943, he participated in the capture of the Zet and Sherwan Mezin police stations. On August 19, 1945, by order of the Iraqi military tribunal, all his movable and immovable property was seized. After the collapse of the Second Barzan Revolution on October 11, 1945, he headed to Eastern Kurdistan. On March 31, 1946, he served as a Peshmerga in the Barzan Force of the army of the Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad and participated in the battles of the Saqqez front in the Republic of Kurdistan.

After the fall of the Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad, on April 19, 1947, he returned to the Sherwan and Mezuri region through the Khwakurk and Barazgir plain via the territory of Northern Kurdistan..

After their return, General Mustafa Barzani held a meeting with his companions on May 6, 1947, in the village of Argosh and gave them the choice to stay or go to the Soviet Union. There, all his companions decided to continue and go to the Soviet Union. On May 22, 1947, he accompanied General Mustafa Barzani toward the Soviet Union. On June 18, 1947, he crossed the Aras River, which is located on the international border of Iran with the Soviet Union.

After arriving in the Soviet Union, on June 19, 1947, along with all his companions, he was placed in an open-air compound surrounded by barbed wire in the city of Nakhchivan in the Republic of Azerbaijan for forty days. They were guarded by a group of soldiers and were treated like prisoners of war in terms of food, clothing, and movement. Later, by the decision of the Soviet government, they were distributed among the regions of Aghdam, Lachin, Ayolakh, and Kalbajar in the Republic of Azerbaijan. On December 10, 1947, they were moved to a military camp on the Caspian Sea in Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan. On the 23rd of the same month, they were given military uniforms and, under the supervision of the officers of the Republic of Azerbaijan, they were given eight hours of military training daily. At the same time, for four hours a day, they were taught Kurdish language lessons by some of their companions who were literate..

After the poor treatment by Jafar Baghirov toward his companions, it was decided to move the military camp on August 29, 1948, from the Republic of Azerbaijan to the Charchuk compound near Tashkent, the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan, where they continued their military training..

   In March 1949, along with his companions, they were distributed in groups and squads by train among the collective villages of the Soviet Union and worked on collective farms (lands that people rented from the government and later gave back the government's share)..

After much effort and sending several letters by General Barzani to Stalin, a letter finally reached Stalin in which Barzani described the hardships of his companions. He immediately ordered the formation of a committee to investigate the situation of Barzani's companions, and the committee's final decision was that they should all be gathered in the city of Vrevsky. Therefore, he went to the city of Vrevsky in the Soviet Union in November 1951. He passed away in 1954.
