The most important of these is the emphasis on writing the introductory chapter of this encyclopaedia which deals with the general situation of Iraq before the uprising and the events with it. We have also discussed the issue of receiving the chapters. The first chapter was received from most of the provinces while others started writing the second chapter, achieving very advanced stage. We also discussed the issue of documentation of the documents, personal interviews and how to write them in the encyclopaedia."
The researchers' proposals and their demands were discussed and serious discussions were held to direct the encyclopaedia of the Sha'ban uprising in appropriate way. The researchers discussed the issues presented for the research with high responsibility and reached common points that will have an impact on the achievement of the encyclopaedia.
It is note that the Sha'ban uprising known as March 1991 uprising, was one of the most important events in the history of modern Iraq, as the Iraqi people went out in the street in a heroic revolution against the tyranny and injustice practiced by the Ba'th regime in that era against the patient people of this country.
