Background
In 1919, the Surchi Kurds of the Akre District launched a rebellion in opposition against the British government. The rebellion was difficult, the government failed to suppress the rebellion for a long time. Then the Kurds of the Surchi Tribe, launched an attack on the marching Assyrians who had a goal of occupying northern Iraq[2][5]
Testimony
The Kurdish tribes east and north- east of Mosul caused us anxiety, but they, too, had learnt their lesson during 1919, and only the Surchi of the Aqra district rose in rebellion.[1]
