– In 2002, signs of war on Iraq began to appear under the leadership of the United States and Britain, so many Arab fighters volunteered to fight in Iraq, and most of them had experience of combat in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation, and some of them fought in Afghanistan after the events of September 2001, so the government established camps to receive them in the Baghdad belt areas. The Arab volunteers participated in important battles during the war and sacrificed many deaths. After the end of the war, waves of fighters began to flow into Iraq from every direction. A part of the Sunni Arabs with a deviant ideology or those with a bad reputation or who bought a handful of money were organized for them. The factions with takfirist ideology, in the forefront of which is al-Qaeda, which killed the Sunni Arab regions, and this organization received financial and logistical support from a regional state and implemented agendas carefully drawn to further destroy the Iraqi fabric before the destruction of the country and a dark chapter in the history of the race began, which is sectarian fighting and identity killing at the hands of Al Qaeda. On the one hand, militias hide in the Shiite cloak, and they are innocent until this organization was eliminated by the American forces, the Iraqi army and the Awakening Councils The component of the Sunni Arabs lost most of its important leaders, headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and the remnants of this organization fled to the Anbar desert and the Hamrin Mountains, and the situation remained somewhat stable with the presence of car bombs, suicide bombers and explosive devices here and there …

It is dear to it … It is worth noting that the situation of a large number of these displaced people is very miserable today, and after more than three years of fighting, the organization was expelled from all the important areas that it controlled and withdrew to the desert and some mountainous areas as it was previously due to the difficulty of targeting it there …
