Lack of political process in Iraq ‘risks further gains for Isis’ 19-01-2015: ...“The areas around Baghdad are suffering from a lot of sectarian violence and the tribes there have started to reflect on the idea of joining ISIS. The tribes believe that there are moves to deport them from their lands.” ...“The tribes are divided this time on defending the government, said Anbar-based tribal leader Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Bahari. “We don’t have faith in the government especially because they are mainly dealing with the sheikhs of tribes who fled years ago and are staying in Amman or Dubai for fear of their lives. “The government didn’t make a mistake once or twice. They kept repeating the same mistake over and over and the government didn’t deliver any of their promises till now. Why would we trust them? “The situation around Baghdad is fragile. Most of the areas are under Isis. The situation in Abu Ghraib [on Baghdad’s western outskirts] is very fragile and the army will probably lose it in any day.”
