[size=52]The Ministry of the Interior: We took measures that contributed to the decline of clan conflicts[/size]

[size=45]On Sunday, the Ministry of Interior reported a significant decline in tribal conflicts and violence, especially in the governorates of Basra and Maysan, and attributed this to a series of measures that contributed to the confiscation of 5,000 weapons during the past period.[/size]
[size=45]While she talked about the arrest of hundreds of people accused of these acts, she confirmed the issuance of harsh sentences against some of them. The decline in the role of the judiciary and the weakness of the security services in some areas of southern Iraq, specifically in the province of Basra, allowed the pervasiveness of clan influence, to the extent that weapons became the “only language” between the conflicting parties. Successive Iraqi governments since 2003 are ignorant of the way to disarm these clans, and are unable to implement legal orders to arrest members of these clans, and are satisfied with calls for calm and “respect for laws.”[/size]
