Abdulla Hamad Mullah Ahmed, known as (Abdulla Agha Goroni), was born in 1905 in the village of Goron, which belongs to the Choman district of Erbil province. He was the elder of the village of Goron, and in 1941, at a young age, he joined the ranks of the Hiwa party organization. With the cooperation of several prominent figures in the Balekayeti region, they carried out several political activities. They continued their organizational work until the Kurdistan Democratic Republic was established in Mahabad. After the establishment of the republic Abdulla Agha Goroni sent his eldest son, Mullah Ahmed, along with several of his friends and relatives to Mahabad to participate in and defend the Kurdistan Democratic Republic. He himself also contacted them several times to stay informed about the situation of the revolution and the party members. There, he met with Kurdish political leaders and figures, conveyed the news of Iraqi Kurdistan to them, and reaffirmed the sympathy and cooperation of the people of Kurdistan for the Peshwa's revolution.
After the collapse of the Kurdistan Democratic Republic by the Iranian Shah's regime, they continued the revolution with the Kurdistan Democratic Party and under the leadership of General Mustafa Barzani . At that time, because the geography of the village of Goron was favorable, it became a base for the Peshmerga, and some of the political figures who had returned from the Kurdistan Democratic Republic resided there. The people of that region also embraced them with great respect and honor.
After the collapse of the Kurdistan Democratic Republic and the historic journey of General Mustafa Barzani and his companions to the former Soviet Union, Martyr Abdulla and several of his friends stayed in the mountains of the Balekayeti region for a while until the situation stabilized. Later, they returned to the village of Goron and continued their party work once again. Abdulla Agha Goroni, along with Mullah Taha Sheikh Osman, Haji Agha Kosretan, Mamand Agha Delzi, and Mine Ali Agha Rayati, took charge of the party organizations in the region and gathered many people around the Kurdistan Democratic Party organizations. At the same time, Shamsaddin Mufti and Hamasur Faraji also stayed in the village of Goron for a while.
After General Mustafa Barzani and his companions returned from the Soviet Union, Martyr Abdulla and the political, social, and religious figures of the Balekayeti region visited Baghdad to welcome them. At the same time, Abdulla Agha had continuous contact with Sheikh Ahmed Barzani and sent letters to each other several times through his cousin named Haji Ahmed Shekhani.
After Abdul Karim Qasim fell under the influence of chauvinistic Arabs and went back on his promises to the Kurds, and General Mustafa Barzani returned to Barzan, he sent a letter through Hamad Agha Dolemeri to the figures of the Balekayeti region. In that letter, he asked them to prepare for the start of the revolution. For this reason, some of them became involved in plans and schemes to attack the regime's bases. This movement became the first step in starting the great September Revolution, which began on September 11, 1961. Martyr Abdulla Agha and several Peshmerga, who were divided into several groups, attacked the Balek (Gelale) sub-district on September 12, 1961, and on another front, they attacked the Rayat barracks. The group that Martyr Abdulla led was able to liberate Gelale and achieve this gain for the Peshmerga forces (42 English rifles, 2 machine guns, 1800 Iraqi dinars of that time), and with this, the morale of the Peshmerga forces rose. After that, the government sent a large force of mercenaries and soldiers to that region to prevent the revolution. Near the villages of Nawkalkan, Pashkoz, and Hafiz, a heavy battle took place on September 13, 1961, and the regime heavily bombed the area with artillery and warplanes. Abdulla Agha participated in all those battles until he was wounded on the third day of the start of the September Revolution in the village of Nawkalkan. He was transported to Dola Baleyan, and there in the village of Koyle, in a cave, his wound was treated and dressed by Haji Kwexa, who was a local folk doctor. However, due to the severity of his wound, he was martyred, and because of the bad situation at that time, they could not transport his body to his homeland, so they buried him right there.
