 The United States is responsible for overthrowing the regime. After the overthrow, they found no solution.

Every party and faction, and according to themselves, the opposition, was fighting for its life. If they were transferred abroad, there would be a massacre. That is why the United States changed its policy based on the opposition's policy because it lacked the strength.

 Biography of Leila Qasim:

She was born on Wednesday, December 27, 1952 (according to other sources in 1953) in a Kurdish village in Khanaqin called "Musfa". Leila went to primary school in 1959 and completed her primary and secondary education in the city of Khanaqin, and then went to Baghdad to continue her studies at the university in 1970. She was a student of sociology at the University of Literature in Baghdad and passed her university semesters with very high grades every year. Leila was an active member of the Kurdistan Students Union and recorded many activities in this union.

Political activity
Edit
She became a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq in 1970. Leila was one of the staunch fighters and opponents of Saddam's Baath regime. After the start of the war in Kurdistan in the spring of 1974, Leila, along with her companions (Jawad, Hassan, Nariman, and Azad), carried out many political activities in Baghdad to achieve the demands and goals of the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. On April 29, 1974, she was arrested at the Baghdad Faculty of Literature on the pretext of her political activity for the Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party and was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Abu Ghraib prison by the regime for a while, but she did not open her mouth and did not reveal the names of the party members. The Baath regime sentenced her and four of her companions to death.

Death

Leila Qasim was hanged on May 13, 1974, at 7:00 p.m.

Four of Leila's freedom-seeking companions, Nariman Fuad Masti, Hassan Muhammad Rashid, Azad Suleiman Miran, and Javad Murad Hamondi, who were in Abu Ghraib prison with her, were also hanged by Saddam Hussein's regime. Leila was the first Kurdish woman in Iraqi Kurdistan to be hanged by the Baath regime for her advocacy of the rights of the people of Iraqi Kurdistan and her political activities. Leila Qasim's grave is in the Wadi al-Salam cemetery in the city of Najaf.
