Mohsin Dizeyi was born in 1932 in the village of Dugirdkani in the Dizeyi plain of Erbil.
Regarding his life, he has said “Like any ordinary person, I lived with relatives, friends and acquaintances of our area and we shared the same beliefs. Each of us served at his own level. He completed the city of Erbil.”
Dizeyi studied literature in Erbil from 1948 to 1949. In 1950, he went to Baghdad and was admitted to the College of Law. Mohsin Dizeyi's youth was like any other young man. In college, he made friends with a group of Kurdish youth, who are now well-known Kurdish personalities, and with them he began his political career. I had rented a room in an apartment with a group of young people, all of whom were law students. We lived happily ever after, and I chose my life partner in my fourth year of college.”
When Dizeyi went to Baghdad and was admitted to law school, one of the Kurdish youths he met there was Omar Dababa. “That year, Mam Jalal, me, and several other students were admitted to the college. Omar Dababa was in the third grade at the time. He was constantly active in politics and was arrested several times, but he always tried to escape.”
In 1954, Mohsin Dizeyi, Mam Jalal and Jamal Nabaz, who was a student at the College of Education, formed a committee with several other Kurdish students to celebrate Newroz that year. Regarding this event, Dizayi says “We were looking for a place to celebrate Newroz. There was Abdullah Sharif, the owner of Haddad Restaurant in Baghdad. We wanted to celebrate Newroz in the garden of his casino.
After the fall of the monarchy and Bazrani's return to Iraq in 1958, Dizeyi became more involved in political activities. After the Ba'athist coup in 1963 and the change of circumstances and opposition to the Kurds, he was arrested and moved to Koya. “There I contacted Mr. Ziad Koyi, who was one of the people Barzani had appointed as his deputy and was a Kurdish man. Mr. Ali Abdullah and Omar Dababa were also there at the time.”
A month after Dizeyi joined the revolution, the war resumed. He settled in Qaladze and was appointed as the revolutionary judge in Mawat, where he remained until 1964. In the same year, the Revolutionary Leadership Council was established.
Mohsen Dizeyi will be assigned to the judiciary as a member of the council.
As a candidate of the revolution, Dizeyi was appointed to various government and diplomatic positions during the revolution and relations between the revolution and Baghdad. Dizeyi was appointed minister of northern affairs on 29-06-1966, during the government of Abdulrahman Arif on recommendation of Mustafa Barzani. “After the Ba'athist coup on July 30, Ishan Sherzad and I were re-elected to the ministry.”
Dizeyi remained in the mountains until 1970. After the March 11, 1970, declaration, he was appointed Iraqi ambassador to Czechoslovakia, where he stayed for two and a half years. He was appointed Iraqi ambassador to Canada for four months, after which he returned to Iraq and was appointed minister of housing.
Mohsin Dizeyi was a close associate of Barzani and was with him during his illness. “I am proud that I was with Bazrani during that time. I never heard him talk about his pain and suffering. One night I was sitting at his service, and I asked him if he felt pain. He laughed and said, “How can I not feel it? The disease I have is the disease of my nation.” I learned from childhood not to express any pain. Although he was ill, he always had contact with personalities and politicians.”[1]
