In the Year 1980, during the Gulan Revolution, he held the position of commander of the Shamiran battalion belonging to the Hawraman forces led by Nadir Hawrami. In the Year 1981, after the Peshmerga regained control of Mount Sharam, the Ba'athist regime again shelled the Peshmerga fortifications, and Suleiman Salih was seriously wounded as a result of the shelling.
