Clashes in western Iraq began on 30 December 2013 when Iraqi security forces arrested Sunni MP Ahmed al-Alwani and clashed with some of his relatives from the Dulaim tribe (Albo-alon clan) the largest tribe in Anbar, on the second day Iraqi security forces tore down a year-old Dulaimi Sunni protest camp in Ramadi.〔 Tribal Dulaim militias battled against the Iraqi Army in Ramadi, Fallujah. After the Iraqi Army withdrew from Anbar province to cool the situation on 31 December, tribal militants took over Fallujah and Karma and most of the city of Ramadi. slowly after militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) entered some of the neighborhoods of Ramadi and parts of Anbar, in the predominantly Sunni Al Anbar governorate. Following the arrival of ISIL, some of Dulaimi tribal militias in Ramadi allied themselves with ISIL forces. The tribes of Zoba, Al-Jumeilat, Al-Bu Issa tribal joined to the Dulaim tribe in their fighting against the Iraqi army. 30,000 Dulaimi policemen in Anbar also left the local police stations and joined tribal forces in fighting against the Iraqi army. ==Background== The Dulaimis held anti-government rallies and demonstrations for one year from 21 December 2012 to 29 December 2013. The Iraqi Government cracked down the protests, leading the tribes involved to escalate their methods. After the withdrawal of U.S. troops the Iraqi government forces started to crack down on tribal militias across Iraq, including in Anbar. Hundreds of thousands of Dulaimis set up weekly demonstrations in Fallujah and Ramadi in the 'Square of Pride and Dignity' (Al-Bu Farraj area), demanding the release the Sunni detainees and the withdrawal of the Iraqi Security Forces from the cities of Anbar. The Iraqi Police Force, aided by the Iraqi Security Forces, eventually arrested Sunni MP Ahmed al-Alwani after an armed shootout which resulted in deaths from Dulaim tribe (Albo-alon clan) members. As a result, the Dulaimis began an armed insurgency. Soon afterwards, Iraqi Security Forces were targeted all over Anbar. On the second day, 200 soldiers surrendered to Dulaimi sheikh in Karma. Sheikh Ali Hatim al-Suleiman formed the Military Council of the Tribal Rebels in Al-Anbar with an announcement stating that, 'This time we fight under the flag of the tribe and not under the flag of jihad,' although Ali Hatim al-Suleiman eventually pledged de facto allegiance to ISIL.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/10934438/We-will-stand-by-Isis-until-Maliki-steps-down-says-leader-of-Iraqs-biggest-tribe.html〕 Clashes broke out in the Ramadi area on 30 December 2013 as security forces tore down what was considered a main Sunni Arab anti-government site, and continued on for two more days. On 1 January 2014, militants in the city sporadically clashed with security forces and torched four police stations, but the clashes had subsided by the next day. The violence then spread to Fallujah, where police abandoned most of their positions and militants burned some police stations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anbar campaign (2013–14)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
