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
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.
After many sacks and sieges led by the Surchis on the Assyrians troops, they eventually got defeated by Assyrian forces of Agha Petros in the Defense of Jujar.
