A rich journey with Ibrahim Al-Zubaidi, the famous Iraqi poet and media figure, where we discussed with him the most prominent features of his childhood and upbringing, his relationship with Saddam Hussein, and the most prominent figures who had a strong relationship with him. He also took us to the village of Al-Auja, and how Saddam's relationship was with his uncle Khairallah Talfah, his son Adnan, and some of his peers. The episode also covered Iraq's golden age, and many Iraqi political and military positions, such as the Al-Rahab Palace massacre, the period of Iraqi chaos, the assassination of Abdul Karim Qassim, Saddam's position with the Deputy Prime Minister, the Baath Party coup, the period of Abdul Salam Arif, and the period of Abdul Rahman Arif. Al-Zubaidi also explained the most important period in his life, which was the sixties, the reason for his going to Egypt, Khairallah Talfah's position on him, how their last meeting was, and the reason for his fear of Saddam Hussein. #Ibrahim_Al-Zubaidi_in_Makhyal Links: Abdullah Al-Bandar on the X platform: https://x.com/a_albander?s=21 Makhyal program on social media platforms: https://linkbio.co/5101719nubH7v Episode topics: The beginning (00:00) Al-Auja village (2:12) Saddam Hussein's real name (5:13) Khairallah Talfah's personality (7:10) Saddam's panic with his aunt (11:04) Saddam and the teacher (13:37) The joint crime (17:33) Everything said about Saddam is pure fabrication (21:19) The case of Hajj Saadoun (23:46) Childhood wishes (29:59) Iraq's golden period (32:37) The student poet (34:10) The massacre of Al-Rahab Palace (35:48) The difference between the Iraqi and Egyptian personalities (38:20) The beginning Chaos (41:41) The assassination of Abdul Karim Qasim (43:23) Tension in relations (46:57) Abdul Salam Arif, a figurehead president (48:05) The moment of Abdul Karim Qasim’s surrender (48:55) Saddam’s anger at the Baath Party (01:00:57) The reign of Abdul Rahman Arif (01:03:24) Ibrahim’s fame in the sixties (01:10:24) The study trip in Egypt (01:21:25) Entering live broadcasting in Iraq (01:27:35) Situations with Khairallah Talfah (01:31:07) The last meeting with Saddam Hussein (01:44:40)
