Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan region (Iraq), --
According to last Tuesday's issue of the weekly
Awena, published in Sulaimaniyah, the Patriotic
Union of Kurdistan (PUK) has been sheltering Taha
Muhyaddin Marouf, a Kurd, former Iraqi
Vice-President during Saddam's era.
According to the news, Mr. Marouf has been given a
house in the Dukan resorts, where he is busy
preparing his retirement papers. Originally from
Sulaimaniyah, in the early 1970s, Mr. Marouf
represented the KDP wing, led by Late Ibrahim Ahmed
to hold a post in Baghdad.
In 1974, the Kurdish armed struggle resumed due to
the failure of the Iraqi regime to implement the
March 11th agreement, but Mr. Marouf did not rejoin
the revolution. Instead, he remained in Baghdad
where he was awarded a number of high-ranking
positions during Saddam's days.
His latest post was Saddam Hussein's Vice-President,
which he held until the liberation of Iraq in 2003.
Close to the industrial area of Sulaimaniyah, Mr.
Marouf currently owns a number of pieces of
agricultural lands, inherited from his forefathers.
