What's new

At least 27 killed as Iraqi forces raid Sunni protest camp

Aren't they under Malki's command?

No, not directly under his command, the only unit under that reports directly to the prime minister are the ISOF.
Besides, this is nothing new, public security has been hunting these terrorists down since 2004, these are no different.
 
I'm seeing the situation turning out to be little different. They Americans were taking care of the terrorists in 04 not the Iraqis ,right?

Right, Iraqi army was way too small for that in 2004, but it started to take a little shape in 2004, though what I meant is that this is not any different then the clashes in 2004-2005-2006-2007..

Some "sheikhs" there need to know their place, how come everyone in the middle east always wants to act like a dictator, no one is able to solve it peacefully, they all want bloodshed..
 
No, the Iraqis are very friendly and tolerant, just give them sometime.

The problem is we have too many kids operating in the political and the religious (business) field. We have Moqtada, the clown who knows nothing about politics acting like a badass because he has a few people willing to back him up. Now we have a new clown (al-batat) with his fake "mukhtar army". Nobody even knows where he came from and even his tribe distanced themselves from him. No one knows who he is or where he lives, and he only gives speeches on the anti-government and secterian "al sharqiyah" channel. It is quite suspecouis why he only goes on their channel while he has never came out on the "Shia" channels although he is a Shia, he seems to be part of the "game" to put iraq into a civil war.

Then we have many other kids from the Sunni side as well, alwani, an Iraqyah bloc MP who cant even speak properly. Also many other religious "shieks" who come out of no where and became famous overnight with their secterian speeches.

The army is engaging in clashes and does not go against unarmed civilians like the fake media tries to show. The "tribesmen" tag is just another cheap way to give the terrorists legitimacy. They all belong to the "Naqshabandia" and alqaeda Iraq.

OMG, this might trigger a civil war. I just saw some YouTube videos of Shias condemning such attack. Let just count on the Iraqi Parliament for now. They seem to be very tough on Al-Malki.

This is ARMED protests in which terrorist were shooting at the army, the army shoots back. Or is it not OK for the army to retaliate?
 
Out of interest, do you they know what group these dead terrorists belong to? Were they radical Salafis or Saddam loyalists?

They belong to a group called the "Naqshabandis". They are directly linked to the former Ba'ath party of Iraq and are under the umbrella of izzat al duri, who was Saddams vice-president. They along with alqaeda in Iraq AKA Islamic state of Iraq are the two main terrorist groups operating in Iraq. They are officially seperate but they most lkely do cooperate with each other.
 
‘Sunni army’ takes form in Iraq as sectarian tensions boil over


KIRKUK (Iraq) - Militants shot dead five Iraqi soldiers in the Sunni Muslim stronghold province of Anbar on Saturday and protesters said they were forming an "army" after four days of unrest that raised fears of a return to widespread sectarian civil conflict.

"In order to keep Anbar a safe place for the Sunnis, we decided to form an army called the Army of Pride and Dignity with 100 volunteers from each tribe to protect our province," said Sheikh Saeed Al-Lafi, a spokesman for the protesters.

Lafi said police and members of the Iraqi army were welcome to join their ranks.

Influential Sunni cleric Sheikh Abdul Malik Al-Saadi, who had previously taken a conciliatory stance and urged restraint, on Saturday congratulated the "honorable Iraqi mujahideen (holy warriors)" on the proclaimed creation of the regional army.

At least four members of a government-backed Sunni "Sahwa" militia were killed when gunmen opened fire at a checkpoint in Awja, outside Tikrit. Police and militants battled in Baiji, a former bastion of Sunni jihadist al Qaeda, about 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad.

In the Abu Ghraib district of Baghdad, four soldiers were killed early on Saturday in clashes with unidentified gunmen.

Meanwhile, Kurdish forces deployed to new areas of a disputed north Iraq province in what a top officer said Saturday was an attempt to move into oilfields, as five days of unrest killed more than 215 people.

The deployments increased already high tensions in Iraq, adding a long-running Arab-Kurd dispute over territory to a stand-off between Sunni Arab protesters and the country's Shiite-led government that descended into bloody violence.

Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki pointed to the civil war in neighbouring Syria as the cause of renewed sectarian strife in Iraq, while the head of the Sahwa anti-Al-Qaeda militia forces threatened all-out conflict if militants who killed Iraqi soldiers are not handed over.

"After consultations with the governor of Kirkuk, there has been a decision for peshmerga (security) forces to fill the vacuums in general, and especially around the city of Kirkuk," Jabbar Yawar, secretary general of Iraqi Kurdistan region's peshmerga ministry, said in a statement.

Oil-rich Kirkuk province and its eponymous capital are a key part of territory that the autonomous Kurdistan region wants to incorporate over strong objections from the federal government in Baghdad, a dispute diplomats and officials say is a major threat to long-term stability.

Yawar said the peshmerga deployments were aimed at combating militants and protecting civilians, but Iraqi army officers ascribed other motives to the moves.

"They want to reach (Kirkuk's) oil wells and fields," Staff General Ali Ghaidan Majeed, the commander of Iraqi ground forces, said.

He said the deployments were a "dangerous development" and violated an agreement that peshmerga forces and Iraqi soldiers would man joint checkpoints.

Another high-ranking Iraqi officer said that "after the latest movements of the peshmerga forces, the army is on alert."

"The army sees the move of the peshmerga as a (political) manoeuvre and not to fill any vacuum."

The deployments came amid a wave violence that began on Tuesday when Iraqi security forces moved against Sunni anti-government protesters near the northern Sunni Arab town of Hawijah, sparking clashes that killed 53 people.

Subsequent unrest, much of it apparently linked to the Hawijah clashes, killed dozens more and brought the death toll to more than 215 on Saturday.

The violence is the deadliest so far linked to demonstrations that broke out in Sunni areas of Shiite-majority Iraq more than four months ago.

The Sunni protesters have called for Maliki's resignation and railed against authorities for allegedly targeting their community, including what they say are wrongful detentions and accusations of involvement in terrorism.

Maliki said on Saturday that sectarian strife "came back to Iraq, because it began in another place in this region," in an apparent reference to Syria.

The civil war in neighbouring Syria pitting mainly Sunni Muslim rebels against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, a member of the Alawite offshoot of Shiite Islam, has killed more than 70,000 people.

Sunni-Shiite sectarian violence in Iraq, which peaked in 2006 and 2006, killed tens of thousands.

"Sectarianism is evil, and the wind of sectarianism does not need a licence to cross from a country to another, because if it begins in a place, it will move to another place," Maliki said.

He also called in a statement for anti-government protesters to "expel the criminals who targeted Iraqi army and police forces," after five soldiers were killed near a protest site.

And Iraqiya state television quoted Sahwa chief Sheikh Wissam al-Hardan as saying that if those who have killed soldiers are not handed over, "the Sahwa will take the requested procedures and do what it did in 2006."

Sahwa militiamen fought pitched battles against Sunni militants from 2006, helping to turn the tide of the Iraq war.
 
Iraq parliament chief calls for govt to resign

Parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi called on Monday for the cabinet to resign and for early elections to be held, as a seven-day wave of violence killed more than 230 people in Iraq.

The initiative is aimed at "national reconciliation and maintaining the gains of democracy," as well as "sparing the country from the spectre of civil war and sectarian strife," Nujaifi's office said in a statement.

Nujaifi, a Sunni and leading member of the secular, Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc which has long been at odds with Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, addressed the proposal to the heads of political parties represented in parliament.

He called for the current government to resign and be replaced by a smaller one made up of independent members who cannot stand in the next elections, for the electoral commission to prepare for early polls and for parliament to then be dissolved.

Nujaifi's proposal came during a wave of violence that began on April 22 when security forces moved against Sunni anti-government protesters near the northern Sunni Arab town of Hawijah, sparking clashes that killed 53 people.

Subsequent unrest has killed dozens more and brought the seven-day death toll to more than 230 on Monday, raising fears of a return to all-out sectarian conflict.

So far this month, more than 450 people have been killed and over 1,150 wounded in violence across Iraq, according to AFP figures based on security and medical sources.
 
Finally some good news from this saudi terrorist supporter
 
Finally some good news from this saudi terrorist supporter

Lol why would I support terrorism?

Al-Maliki has been slaughtering sunnis since 2006 labeling everyone he doesn't like as saddamis, Al-qaeda, bathies..etc. Its very irritating seeing innocent people pulled to death for crimes they didn't committee.

Al-Malkik and his militias, Mo8tda Al-klb, Faiyl8 bader, Al-mahdi.. and so one. all those are war criminals and must be brought to justice.

Shia plotted with US killed thousands of Sunni Iraqis during and after the US occupation.

Many of their crimes are documented and available for everyone to see. Youtube it yourself.

Why do think the bloods being spilled aren't valuable?

Taking maliki out of power and bringing those you named to justice will not work by killing soldiers, this is a slow usless process, the more you kill the more join the army.
A syrian style war in Iraq will be different then in Syria, Iran borders Iraq directly so you know the weapons and personell that will becoming in.

USA might pressure him to leave soon, Turkey will pressure him.
They can pressure him in many ways since the US-Iraq relations are the most important for Iraq, but to believe a war against the army will help you will need to use state armies to keep Iran out.

What:hitwall:

Al-malki raided innocent unarmed protesters inside their camps killed 27 at a time. :cuckoo::astagh:

People mainly sunnis have had enough from him since he took over. Now the situation has changed, they will retaliate if ever feel threatened. They have been protesting for almost five months no one gave a345 about them. Their families are held behind bars doritos with no charges and some were executed under the law of terrorism for crimes they didn't commit.. Do you want to me to speak about women condition in Maliki's prisons as well!

Are you gonna open a new page ever other day.....
 
stop your stupid propaganda Arabian Legend.

you say Maliki and Al Mahdi are working together?

Mahdi Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On March 25, 2008 thousands of Iraqi troops carried out a military strike against the Mahdi Army in their stronghold of Basra.
The Mahdi Army launched a nationwide civil disobedience campaign across Iraq to protest raids and detentions against the Mahdi Army. The discord also threatened to unravel al-Sadr's ceasefire, spark renewed sectarian violence, and prompt the United States to delay any troop withdrawals. Violent rivalries among Shiites had been predicted by many observers ahead of the Iraqi governorate elections, 2008, which were to be held by October 1, 2008


And Iraqis showed you clearly who were the so called protesters ... with weapons
Are you supporting terrorism in Iraq ?
