The locals in Hani took part in the Sheikh Said rebellion in 1925. Subsequently, the town experienced special surveillance and scrutiny from the state.[5]
After the victory of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP) in the local elections in 2014, Hani became a hotspot for the women movement in Diyarbakır province. A women's center was opened in presence of the Metropolitan Mayor of Diyarbakır, Gültan Kişanak.[6] The DBP mayor was dismissed over alleged links with the Kurdistan Workers' Party in October 2016 and a trustee was imposed by the Ministry of the interior.[7] In the local elections of March 2019 Ibrahim Lale of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) was elected mayor.[8]
