    We deduce while analyzing the evilness agenda made for Iraq, last of which Daesh, that the coincidence of the tribal conflicts in the south, especially in the city of Basra, with the security challenge represented by terrorism in the western regions, were not done by chance. Thus, Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim, head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, has warned against the attempts to drag the secure southern areas down into chaos through the tribal conflicts, especially in Basra which is considered as the economic lung of Iraq. He called on the Iraqi tribal and clan leaders to carry out their responsibilities to reduce this phenomenon, and urged them to reject the wrong behaviors and to set a good example for their sons in the fight against waste in food and weddings, in addition to the reduction of shooting firearms. His Eminence noted that the spread of drugs at low prices less that their prices in the country of origin, would alert of the presence of a subversive agenda having the same role in the tribal disputes, which must be firmly dealt with.

He pointed out that the ordeal has proved the Iraqi cohesion, citing the existence of a million displaced people in the central and southern regions. As well, he considered Iraqis as a protected people against Daesh after all what they suffered from it, at the time other people of the region feel compassion for Daesh; thus, they may witness security chaos.
