Tribal Mobilization, also known as Tribal Fighters, is a group of Sunni tribesmen in Iraq that was formed to combat the Islamic State (IS). It is important to distinguish this group from another force sometimes referred to as Tribal Mobilization, which was formerly known as the National Mobilization and is now called the Nineveh Guard, associated with the political figure Atheel al-Nujaifi.[1][2]
In 2017, Thamer Al-Tamimi, the Deputy Chief of the Sunni Tribal Mobilization, publicly expressed a growing sense of disillusionment among Sunni leaders in Iraq. In an interview with Al-Hadath TV, Al-Tamimi stated that relying on support from Arab states would not be beneficial to Iraqi Sunnis. He accused some of these states of using Iraqi Sunnis as part of their regional competition with Iran. Al-Tamimi also mentioned that the Tribal Mobilization had sought assistance from Gulf countries in their fight against IS, but according to him, these requests went unanswered.[3][4]
US bombing allegations
In October 2016, Iraqi officials reported that 21 members of the Tribal Mobilization Forces were killed during a US bombing operation south of Mosul.[5]
