    Basra Council: The police are unable to impose security and stop tribal conflicts


     Baghdad / AFP 

    "The language of bullets is dominant," said Dawood Salman, a resident of Basra province. He watched silently during years of conflict between his village's tribes until one of his sons was hit by a stray bullet. 
    In the southern province there are armed conflicts between the six or seven clans in the region, often developing into fierce battles. In the face of this violence, which sometimes leads to the deaths of innocent people and the consequent reprisals, the security forces stand neutral in fear of retaliation. 
    These conflicts and their disruptions have been in conflict for years, but what has made matters worse is the mobilization of security forces to wage war against an oppressive organization.
    "Peaceful families who do not have weapons can not live," says Salman, 41, in all those cities and neighborhoods where fighting with automatic weapons and machineguns turns "residential areas into something like a battlefield." 
    During a conflict, Ali, 15, was hit by a stray bullet in the shoulder as he stood in front of the family home. Since then, the family has moved from Basra to rural areas in the north of the province, the father told AFP. 
    Faced with disputes that sometimes arise over land disputes, honor issues, or even football, police do not offer any help, residents say.
    "In the absence of the army and the federal police, the local police are hesitant to enter the fighting because there is nothing to protect them, unlike the army forces that have armored and armored vehicles," said a member of the Basra provincial council, deputy head of the security committee Ghanem Hamid Saleh. 
    However, the engineer, Haidar Ali al-Saad (34 years), that the solution is to bring a military force from outside Basra, "he said, adding that" So that they do not have tribal or social relations that affect their role. " 
    The population also calls for the need to control weapons, while police raids are regularly carried out, without the ability to overwhelm the vast arsenal deployed in the only province bordering the sea.
    The adviser to the Basra Council for Tribal Affairs Sheikh Abbas al-Fadhli that the tribes seized these weapons when the withdrawal of the Iraqi army from Kuwait in 1991, and during the US invasion of the country in 2003. 
    In this oil-rich region, where the headquarters of several foreign companies and oil refineries, The clashes sometimes lead to the suspension of the work of these companies, according to what confirms the commander of Basra operations Lieutenant General Jamil al-Shammari. 
    "When a tribal conflict breaks out, the street breaks for three to four days," Shammari said. "What prevents the employees from reaching their jobs," he said. "There have been attacks even on the oil companies."
    Al-Saad believes that the first step in reducing violence is to bring about a serious change in mentality. "Conflicts of tribal conflict and social criminals must be condemned before they are convicted," said teacher Saadoun Jassim al-Ali, 46, "The absence of law and its lack of justice for the disputants and the failure to prosecute the perpetrators (...) contribute to the spread of conflict." For these reasons, Sheikh Mohammed al-Zaidawi joined the tribal conflict resolution committee of the Basra Operations Command. In the province, tribes resolve disputes more than courts. In a conflict between two clans, it develops from conflict to conflict that sometimes kills people on both sides. When the situation is stifled by the spasm of one side and the search for revenge, other tribes intervene to resolve by giving Atwa a truce until a solution is found.
    Then, the disputed parties sit in the office or house of the murdered clan leader with neutral dignitaries, and begin to negotiate the "tribal separation" that often ends up paying a sum of money or the departure of the murderer's family from the region. 
    Al-Zaidawi says that in 2017, the committee was able to "address more than 176 tribal problems." In Iraq, Iraq's political analyst Kirk Suelle points out that "the biggest security challenge is internal. A problem of large tribal violence, in addition to organized crime, as many of the armed factions turn into a mafia. "
