Abdullah Hamad Mullah Ahmed, known as Abdullah Agha Goroni, was born in 1905 in the village of Goroni, affiliated with the Choman district of Erbil province. He was the village elder of Goroni. In 1941, in his youth, he joined the ranks of the Hiwa Party organization. With the help of several prominent figures in the Balakayati region, they carried out several political activities. They continued their organizational work until the Republic of Kurdistan was established in Mahabad. After the establishment of the Republic, Abdullah Agha Goroni sent his eldest son, Mullah Ahmed, along with several friends and relatives, to Mahabad to participate in and defend the Republic of Kurdistan. He himself also contacted them several times to stay informed about the situation of the revolution and the party members. From there, he met with the leaders and political figures of Kurdistan, informed them of the news from Iraqi Kurdistan, and reaffirmed the sympathy and support of the people of Kurdistan for the Peshwa's revolution.
After the collapse of the Republic of Kurdistan by the Shah's regime of Iran, the Kurdistan Democratic Party continued the revolution under the leadership of General Mustafa Barzani. At that time, because the geographical location of the village of Goroni was favorable, it became a base for the Peshmerga, and some of the political figures who had returned from the Republic of Kurdistan settled there. The people of that region welcomed them with the utmost respect..
After the collapse of the Republic of Kurdistan and the historical journey of General Mustafa Barzani and his companions to the former Soviet Union, Martyr Abdullah and several of his companions remained in the mountains of the Balakayati region for a while until the situation normalized. Then they returned to the village of Goroni and continued their party work once again. Abdullah Agha Goroni, along with Mullah Taha Sheikh Wathman, Haji Agha of Kosratan, Mamand Agha of Delzi, and Mina Ali Agha of Rayati, took charge of the party's organizations in the region, and many people gathered around the organizations of Kurdistan Democratic Party at the same time Shamsaddin Mufti and Hamasur Faraj also stayed in the village of Goroni for a while.
After General Mustafa Barzani and his companions returned from the Soviet Union, Martyr Abdullah and the political, social, and religious figures of the Balakayati region visited Baghdad to welcome them. At the same time, Abdullah Agha had constant contact with Sheikh Ahmed Barzani, and they exchanged letters with each other several times through a cousin named Haji Ahmed Sheikhani..
After Abd al-Karim Qasim fell under the influence of chauvinistic Arabs and reneged on his promises to the Kurds, and General Mustafa Barzani returned to Barzan, he sent a letter through Hamad Agha Dolamari to the figures of the Balakayati region. In that letter, he asked them to prepare themselves for the outbreak of the revolution. For this reason, some of them began to prepare to attack the regime's headquarters according to a plan and design. It was then that in the first spark and flame of the Aylul Revolution which broke out on September 11, 1961, Martyr Abdullah Agha and several Peshmerga, who were divided into several fronts, attacked the Balak (Galala) sub-district on September 12, 1961, and on another front, they attacked the Rayat barracks. The front that Martyr Abdullah supervised was able to liberate Galala and obtain these gains for the Peshmerga Forces: (42 British rifles, 2 machine guns, 1800 Iraqi dinars of that time). With this, the morale of the Peshmerga Forces was boosted. After that, the government sent a large force of Jash and soldiers to that region to prevent the revolution. Near the villages of Nawkelan, Pashkoz, and Hafiz, a fierce battle took place on September 13, 1961, and the regime heavily bombarded the area with artillery and aircraft. In all those battles, Abdullah Agha participated, until he was finally wounded in the village of Nawkelan on the third day of the outbreak of the Aylul Revolution and was transported to the Balayan Valley, where he was treated in a cave in the village of Kweila by Haji Kwexa, who was a local folk doctor. However, due to the severity of his wound, he could not survive and became a Martyr. Due to the unstable situation at that time, his body could not be transported to his homeland, so he was buried there.
