footnotes =Abd al-Muhsin Al-Saadoon ( _ar. عبد المحسن السعدون) (1879–1929) was an
Iraqi politician who served asPrime Minister of Iraq four separate times between 1922 and 1929.A member of the leading clan of the
Muntafiq tribal confederation, Al-Saadoon served as an officer in the Ottoman army and as a "aide-de-camp" to SultanAbd-ul-Hamid II before returning to Iraq and embarking on a career in politics. AfterWorld War I , He was an outspoken opponent of the British mandate in the country.During his third term in office, Al-Saadoon negotiated two important treaties: the Second Anglo Iraqi Treaty, ensuring that the
Kurd -dominatedMosul province would remain part of Iraq (with assurances for the rights of the local Kurdish population); and theTurkey-Iraqi Treaty in which Iraq promised to payTurkey 10 percent of its revenues from the Mosul oil fields in return for Turkish recognition of Iraqi control of the area.During his fourth term in office, Al-Saadoon was alleged to have committed suicide, although family members continue to insist that it was an assassination.
