Officials in several provinces said that the government 's request for the extradition weapon tribes and civilians to the state, as appropriate for the rare and launch jokes.
And ended about a month ago the government announced deadline for the disarmament of citizens, as clear evidence of the success of this endeavor is not available.
On the contrary, the southern provinces, witnessing tribal conflicts using heavy weapons, confirm the continuation of armed conflicts even after the government 's decision.
Political parties and parliamentary committees competent and believes that the government is much that the disarmament weaker, and some parties fear that the decision is directed against the "popular crowd".
The local authorities are talking about cosmetic procedures carried out by the security forces during the past few days, in search of weapons but did not result in anything.

Disarm the crowd
and gave the National Security Council, during a meeting chaired by mid - Abadi mid-February, the citizens who own weapons deadline 10 days to be delivered to the security authorities. Council directed the confiscation of weapons held by citizens across the country.
This came at a time when the measure had witnessed the Baghdad clashes between demonstrators and security forces in which a number of deaths and injuries occurred, followed by the fall of rockets at the "Green Zone."
Baghdad has seen, two years ago, incidents prompted the Prime Minister to announce several districts of the capital "demilitarized". And he ordered al - Abadi, in February 2015 as Adhamiya, Mansour, Kadhimiya and Sidiyah weapons - free zones. Abadi was issued, before that, a similar thing on Karrada after armed clashes between armed groups and political parties.
The government 's decision coincided with the recent leaks about the intention of the Prime Minister to resolve the formations crowd, despite the recent denials.
He warned MP Mohammed Chihod, a member bloc of state law, that the purpose behind the decision , " the collection of arms" is to pull the weapon from the crowd in preparation for its dissolution.
He said Chihod, a member of the tribal committee in parliament, told the (term) "If so , we stand against the government 's decision, Valhacd is the future of the country and guarantee of unity."
Despite the absence of indicators confirm the Abadi to disarm the crowd, but that Chihod compares what is happening with previous territorial claims calls to disarm Hezbollah weapons.
MP says state law that " the recent visit of Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubair to Baghdad carrying a message of the need to solve the popular crowd," adding that "Trump, the US president, called the remarks during his meeting with the Prime Minister."
The prime minister pledged Haider Abadi , the leaders of the popular crowd, during a meeting with them on Saturday, not to alienate the rights of the crowd fighters, stressing that his talk with the US administration , " it was clear" about them.
The Abadi spoke, before the US Institute of Peace, about the need to reward the elements of the popular crowd included wanting them to the Iraqi security forces and disarm after the completion of the war with Daesh.
The political parties were strongly criticized for an interview with the prime minister during his visit to Washington, saying it comes as part of US efforts to end the role of the crowd.
It speaks Chihod about "the existence of a new project is a Western powers and regional post - Daesh stage, the first solution includes the popular crowd."

Courtesy of the clans
and factions of the crowd is not the only entity in Iraq , which possess heavy weapons and moving legal cover as part of the state institutions, there are clans and ordinary citizens possess heavy weapons.
The tribes used to review their weapons, during tribal conflicts, and not limited to rural and remote areas.
It failed a previous initiative launched by the Government of Basra to announce some of the demilitarized zones, similar to what the government has done in Baghdad.
Ahmed says Sulaiti, a member of the Basra Governorate Council, that "there is a courtesy and collusion with some of the tribes in Basra to cover their weapons, or perhaps its personnel within the security forces are denied the withdrawal of heavy weapons."
It confirms Sulaiti, in a statement (term) yesterday that "Basra was forced to open offices inside the city to prevent the elements of the popular crowd from taking up arms to homes."
The armed factions committed elements to leave their weapons in the racks set up in their own offices, as soon as they returned from the fighting fronts.
Sulaiti says that " the weakness of the state make a lot of gangs exploit the proliferation of arms and belong to parties and popular crowd. We live without law."
Local official strongly criticized the government for citizens grace to hand over their weapons. He adds saying , "What are you waiting the government does not have a law that allows to carry weapons even light it."
The government allowed citizens to possess light weapons in the homes after the occupation Daesh of the conductor in the summer of 2014, and this decision is still in effect since that date.
Says a member of the provincial council of Basra , he said " the security forces recently, formal procedures to search for weapons in a poor and weapons - free zones avoiding tribal areas that give rise to problems."
The same procedures applied in Maysan, where the head of the security committee which says that "the search for weapons is not serious, and we need specialized forces."
Sarhan refers Ghalibi, in an interview with the (range), that " the local police can not force the tribes to hand over their weapons, but to deliver him themselves, it is something that is unreasonable and laughable."
The government sent last September, Fuga of rapid reaction to control tribal conflicts, after armed Sadmat occurred in the province.
It confirms Ghalibi that "once back power conflicts back again."
The leadership of Iraq operations announced the seizure of quantities of various weapons in a number of provinces. Major General Ali Almksusi, commander of operations during a meeting with a number of provincial police commanders, said that his leadership has intensified "inspections in the provinces of Dhi Qar, Wasit, Muthanna and Maysan" in search of weapons.

He hopes Ali al - Hamdani, deputy head of the provincial council, in a telephone conversation with (range) yesterday, that "it yields the withdrawal of weapons from the population and confined to the state."
And it liberated Diyala about two years of control of the organization Daesh before, and still some areas are hot. Hamdani says , "will leave some light weapons controlled in dangerous areas and where there are hotbeds of terrorism."
Baghdad also left some of the weapons of the clans in the belt areas of the capital, considering that those bodies raise arms against the government with Daesh.
Ali said Sarheed, a member of the security committee in the Baghdad (range) that " the decision to withdraw the weapons in place for years in Baghdad, and has an unlicensed weapon shall be referred to the judiciary." The attention to the inventory of weapons in the hot spots and left hand clans fighting to Daesh, confirming the application of the same thing on the crowd in the capital.
