Leader of Kurdish nationalist revolt
Sheikh Ubeydullah (Kurdish: شێخ عوبەیدوڵڵای نەھری ,Şêx Ubeydelayê Nehrî)[1][2] also known as Sayyid Ubeydullah, was the leader of the first modern Kurdish nationalist struggle. Ubeydullah demanded recognition from Ottoman Empire and Qajar dynasty authorities for an independent Kurdish state, or Kurdistan, which he would govern without interference from Ottoman or Qajar authorities.[3]
Sheikh Ubeydullah was an influential landowner in the 19th century and a member of the powerful Kurdish Şemdinan family from Nehri. He was the son of Sheikh Taha and a nephew to Sheikh Salih, from whom he inherited the leadership of the Naqshbandi order in Şemdinan.[4] After his rebellion was suppressed, he was exiled first to Istanbul, then to Hijaz where he died.[3]
