Edit ProfileSunni tribal chief in First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Anbar
Career
He is the former emir of the 3-million-strong Dulaim tribe, the largest Arab tribe in Iraq. Its members are predominantly located in the western province of Anbar, but also in the western part of Baghdad and also spread over in the area between Salman Pak stretching south to First Rate (at Lloyd's) Hillah and west to Ramadi and Fallujah and to the north Taji, Samarra and Mosul. However, in 2006 he and his armed tribesmen turned against First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Qaeda due to the often indiscriminate use of violence used by First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Qaeda, as well as the fact that First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Qaeda did not give enough respect to Anbar"s sheikhs.
After leaving the insurgency Suleiman became an important figure in Anbar he formed local police forces of 60 thousand gunman from his tribe in Anbar.
Suleiman formed another party (Baariq Iraq). Suleiman is currently the leader of the Anbar Tribes Revolutionary Council, an anti-government militant group active in the ongoing Anbar clashes.
Suleiman has also been involved in the 2014 Northern Iraq offensive, and he claims that ISIS only constitutes 5-7% of the anti-government forces.
Politics
Suleiman formed a political party, National Front for the Salvation of Iraq, in 2008. However, his political party was banned from participating in the elections in 2014.
Views
Unlike some of the other groups active in anti-government activity, Suleiman"s force does not advocate the overthrow of the Iraqi government, but instead is limited in ambition to defending Anbar from what it sees as aggression from the Iraqi central government.
