He joined the organizations of Kurdistan Democratic Party in 1959. With the outbreak of Aylul Revolution in 1961, he joined the Peshmerga of the revolution with his personal weapon in the Barwari Bala region with the Peshmerga of Mullah Shani, and participated in the battles of the Amadiya region. He later struggled with the Peshmerga of Haris Khano Bidaruni, where he participated in the battles of Khizala, Gura Bahivi, Sari Bidarun, and the Chami Bridge.
