The insurgency by the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran surged in 1989, lasting until 1996. It claimed hundreds of lives, mostly Iranian government troops and Kurdish soldiers. The eruption of the conflict in July 1989 was caused by the assassination of KDPI leader Abdul Rahman Qassemlou by suspected government agents. The most violent episodes took place in 1990 and 1991, when Kurdish soldiers launched massive attacks on Iranian military bases in Kurdish areas of Iran. This brought heavy retaliation from the Iranian government, aiming to eradicate the KDPI leadership by assassinating Sadegh Sharafkandi and other KDPI leaders in 1992 in order to disable the Kurdish party's ability to function. The conflict faded with the effective targeted assassination policy of Iran and by 1996 KDPI was no longer able to function militarily and announced a unilateral ceasefire. ==Background== (詳細はIslamic Revolutionary Guards Corps fought to reestablish government control in the Kurdish regions, more than 10,000 Kurds were killed during this process.〔(Are Kurds a pariah minority? | Social Research|Find Articles at BNET.com )〕 Pockets of KDPI insurgents continued to engage in low level fighting up until 1983,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC ON THIS DAY - 23 - 1979: Kurdish revolt grows in Iran )〕 as the Iranian forces were diverted to the Iraqi front, with the escalation of the Iran-Iraq War. While most of its military and political activity in Iran was greatly overpowered after the 1979 rebellion, the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) had continued its opposition activities through 1980s. Nevertheless, the crackdown still continued - ‘Abd al‐Rahman Qassemlou, leader of Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran, was assassinated in July 1989 by the Iranian government.〔()〕 The immediate pretext for the renewed insurgency of KDPI was the event of February 1990, when thousands of Kurds demonstrated in seven Iranian towns and more than 500 were subsequently arrested.〔()〕 These protests are said to be due to the execution of 17 Kurdish activists.〔 As a result of the crackdown, the KDPI renewed its military activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KDPI insurgency (1989–96)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
