Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz was repeatedly responsible for massacres of the Yazidis. In 1832, thousands of Yazidis were killed in the Shekhan area by Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz in cooperation with the Kurdish Botan prince Bedir Khan Beg.[5][6]

In 1834 he tried to subdue the Assyrians of Tyari but suffered a defeat. This defeat played a major role in the collapse of the Soran Emirate. [7][8][9][10]
