Over more than a year on the formation of the United States and the international coalition in order to fight against al-Daash, but extremists still control large parts of the north and west of Iraq.
West, gunmen Daash city of Ramadi take the platform for the start of their activity, especially that it is located in a desert province was brought under control in the month of May. Anbar general form looks the other under the control of armed extremists, with the exception of a small town controlled by security forces and a group of volunteers armed Shiites, Vchahd where five flags Add to raise the Iraqi flag.
Just 200 meters from the bulwark, stationed about 200 soldiers from the tribal who have vowed to fight Daash, we hear a screaming voices officers generally these fighters, "We want to hear the hum of the world and you Rsaskm Daash you fight." In the meantime, says military brigade named Abbas, that these troops going to go to the front line to fight the armed rebels.
And close to the fronts find newly recruited troops in the chaotic state of the military and logistical point of view. Volunteers dressed in different costumes and shoes sport rather than military, and just five meters, is trying to train its fighters in haste on how to dismantle weapons and prepared coach again. He adds Major General Abbas said he wants to lengthen the duration of the training but the weapons are scarce few and money.
US Department of Defense often says that tribal fighters are material crucial in the long run to end the militants Daash, but when thinking to regain control over the city like gray start, things look more complicated, because the organization there enjoys considerable support from local players who are able to provide all means of support to him, though there are tribes against the militants often claim to fight against the terrorist organization through government support for them.
Hayel Al Hamidi a tribal leader who sits in his office and talks about the desire of tribes and their willingness to fight, noting The clan stood with the United States in general terrorism and fought al-Qaeda, since almost a decade.
Hamidi says, "We are under pressure Daash, and extremists deported us 350 yards, Vqmaiv mortars and rockets fall daily on our homes."
It tribal fighters working with the army during its formation militia small anti-regulation Daash, one of its members say and nicknamed al-Issawi that "Daash have a weapon many and sophisticated best of our weapons, and the government is reluctant to Tzlihna, which is not more than once under the pretext of austerity and corruption that led to the vacuum of funds from its treasury."
drop in oil prices, which coincided with the dominance of Daash the cities of Mosul and Ramadi, and government corruption phenomenal in the government of Nouri al-Maliki, especially the second mandate for his handling of Iraq, factors led to an increase Daash gains in Iraq, as well as a huge military corruption, according to reports by American research institutes.
He holds tribal elders and legislators Americans, the Iraqi government responsible for the reluctance of fighting Daash against, believing the same time, the international coalition is the best organization in the end. According to deputy chairman of the security and defense committee Hamid al-Mutlaq "There is a serious will to fight against Daash and this will need to train and support the government and to provide air cover for fighters."
In an interview last week with the station (France-24), Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said, "We expect the international coalition The Americans gain fast through air strikes, but we have not received until this moment the full support of this international coalition.
"The United States, for its part, defends its world memorandum channeled more than 6,000 air strike in Iraq and Syria since the start of its operations in August of last year , and says it has killed thousands of militants Daash, including senior leaders of the organization, as well as the work of the Americans advisors on training the Iraqi army and tribal fighters in bases in Anbar.
limited progress in the battle Americans, subjected to scathing criticism from US lawmakers, Sen. John McCain has often been echoed talk about the coalition failed in Iraq, saying that he is not convincing and has not anything.
He says an Iraqi soldier, speaking on condition of anonymity because he fears reprisals from their leaders, that "the international coalition in Iraq does not offer all the support, for he is convinced that the Iraqi army is weak."
He added the soldier, who received training at the hands of the Americans advisors, that the military operations in Ramadi, slow, and that the issue of air traffic controllers invoked by the United States, the Iraqis managed to overcome them, and in more than one occasion have given notices of targets belonging to the organization for the purpose of the bombing, but the aircraft was not bombed. He guessed at the same time difficult to achieve progress in the future in Ramadi because it is surrounded militants extremists, but what you say official channel for victories is only propaganda, as he put it.
It goes Iraqi soldier saying, that its leaders are corrupt and allow themselves snapped bribes and allowing fighters to enjoy vacations when temperatures were very high, as well as the scarcity of water and food.
