ship.
During
the
rebellion
he
operated
in
Egypt
and
Syria
trying
to
arouse
Arab
support
for
the
rebels.
He
now
reportedly
has
promises
of
Libyan
aid
for
the
movement.
This
unusual
alliance
for
the
Pan-Arab
Colonel
Mu’ammar
al-Qaddhafi
is
apparently
explained
by
the
Libyan
leader’s
disappointment
with
the
Iraqi
regime
- and
hints
of
Soviet
backing
The
new
Kurdish
leadership
seems
likely
to
substitute
a
strategy
well
suited
for
partisan
warfare
for
Barzani’s
old
front-
line
fighting.
This
would
be
in
line
with
the
thinking
of
many
of
those
still
holding
out
who
believe
that
the
forward
strategy
adopted
by
the
DPK -
with
the
backing
of
Iran
-
was
a
grave
mistake.
But
the
most
important
change
in
tactics
would
be
the
spread
of
the
struggle
to
all
states
with
Kurdish
minorities.
Mulla
Mustafa
did
not
do
this,
choosing
instead
to
concentrate
on
the
rebellion
in
Iraq.
This
controversial
decision
inadver-
tently
helped
Iran
and
Turkey
control
their
Kurdish
activists.
And
in
the
end,
Iran
reneged
on
its
commitments
to
the
rebels
and
Turkey
closed
its
border
even
to
desperate
refugees.
Any
future
Kurdish
struggle
therefore
appears
likely
to
be
an
under-
ground
international
one.
