The rebellion began in the aftermath of the Second Gulf War, taking advantage of the Iraqi army's vulnerability following its defeat and popular anger with Saddam Hussein's regime, coinciding with an uprising in southern Iraq. The revolt was marked by widespread participation from diverse elements of the Kurdish people, who gained control of the majority of Kurdish cities and territories, demanding the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and the establishment of Kurdish autonomy. Major American publications provided significant coverage of the March rebellion, which focused on reporting events in Kurdistan and Iraq. These newspapers sought to present a realistic picture of what was happening on the ground, shedding light on the political positions of the US government and Kurdish leaders. This media coverage provided an important account of the developments of the uprising and its international repercussions, highlighting the important role of journalism in documenting historical events.</p> Ayhan J.

Also, it aims to find out the relationship between academic adjustment and self-compassion among students at Koya University. The research population consisted of (3585). The sample was (350) students randomly selected at Koya University. Two scales were employed in this study; one scale is the adapted academic adjustment scale by Anderson et al (2016), and self-compassion scale which is adapted from Neff (2003). The validity and reliability of the instruments were at a convinced level. The results showed that the students have a bad level of academic adjustment and a high level of self-compassion; there is no statistically significant difference in their level of academic adjustment and self-compassion according to the variables (gender and place of residence). The results also showed a statistically significant positive relationship between academic adjustment and self-compassion. Furthermore, the result indicated that academic adjustment was predicted based on self-compassion. Finally, the study presented some suggestions and recommendations.</p> Bayar M. Aziz, Shahen R.

It has received considerable attention from Muslims at large as well as from rulers, including caliphs, kings, and presidents across various historical periods. Beyond its religious significance, it is renowned as one of Iraq’s archaeological and historical landmarks, believed by the public to contain the tomb of Prophet Yunus (PBUH). This study explores the history of this mosque as a prominent center for religious, administrative, scientific, and public service activities. It particularly focuses on the key functions it performed during the final phase of the Ottoman era—specifically in the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century—based on information recorded in the Ottoman Endowment Register of Mosul.</p> Majid M.
