Sheikh Mohan Al-Khair Allah: His Life and Political Impact in Iraq1890-1956

Abstract

  The Iraqi figures, especially the clan ones, who  appeared on the political stage during the last Ottoman era (1869-1918) and the beginning of the British occupation and the royal era (1925-1958) received great attention from researchers. These researchers shed light on the role of these personalities in the events that Iraq witnessed, but there are other clan figures who did not receive the required attention.  Among them is Sheikh Mohan Al-Khairallah, the sheikh of the Al-Shuwailat clan, who was described as a “bully” in the House of Representatives, as he was a member of it for more than two-thirds of the electoral cycles, and who also played a prominent role in Thawrat Aleishreen.  The research entitled" Sheikh Mohan Al-Khairallah, his life and political role in Iraq (1890-1956)" includes an introduction and two sections. The first section deals with his personality and social formation, and the second section aims to know his political impact. The conclusion sums up the findings.
