Hamawand rebellion

The Hamawand rebellion was a Kurdish uprising by the Hamawand tribe in the Mosul Vilayet which began in 1908, in opposition to the Young Turks revolution and in support of the Ottoman sultan.[1] The state of rebellion was ended in July 1910 when they reached an agreement with local wali of Baghdad, Nadim Pasha, wherein they nominally recognized Ottoman authority.[1] According to David McDowall, the rebellion continued in April 1911 upon Nadim's return to Constantinople, and the Hamawand were reportedly still in rebellion when World War I began,[1] but this is not mentioned in Gökhan Çetinsaya's account, which simply relates that "the Hamawand terror in the region lasted about two years and was suppressed only by considerable force."[2]
