Thousands of Shia militiamen and Sunni tribal fighters were gathering outside the western Iraqi city of Ramadi on Monday night, promising to reverse the Iraqi army’s humiliating defeat by Islamic State jihadists.
Militias from the so-called Popular Mobilisation Committees, a grouping of largely Shia, pro-Iran groups, were called up by the prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, as the army fled on Sunday.
They had been held back previously because of fears of sectarian clashes with residents and tribes in the city, capital of the Sunni heartland province of Anbar.
According to local media, 3,000 fighters had gathered by Monday morning at the former British RAF base of Habbaniya, now an Iraqi army hold-out in the province, most of which is now under the control of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
But thousands of Sunni tribesman were also gathering west of the city. Sunni tribes have been divided in their loyalty between the government and their co-religionists in Isil.

So I can count on conservatives supporting a U.S. / Iran coalition as Sunnis and Shiites assemble a force to kill and destroy Daesh in Iraq.

Morsi is gone - sentenced to death. The time you go back to Morsi was the elected President of Egypt. Did you want Obama to support a coup of a democratically elected leader. Morsi did himself in. Good riddance. Nobody from the US licked Morsi's boots. Your imagination is running wild.

The current Egyptian government is even more authoritarian and pro-Sharia than the Muslim brotherhood - Egypt is more like Saudi Arabia now.

They can't grow and spread in Iraq now that Popular Mobilisation Committees, a grouping of largely Shia, pro-Iran groups, were called up by the prime minister, Haider al-Abadi and Sunni tribal fighters will rather fight with the Shiites to rid Iraq of daesh terrorist scum.

The joint letter was from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Front Line Defenders, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network, and the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT). The organizations said that Germany should continue to freeze transfers of arms and security-related items that can be used for repression until Egypt investigates and brings to justice the security forces responsible for unlawful killings of hundreds of protesters. This should include security forces involved in the killing of more than 1,000 protesters in a single day while closing down two protest sites in Cairo in August 2014.
“German authorities are well aware of the terrible human rights situation in Egypt today,” said Wenzel Michalski, Germany director at Human Rights Watch. “Chancellor Merkel should speak out against Egyptian government policies like shutting down peaceful protests and mass arrests solely for alleged sympathy with the Muslim Brotherhood.”
The organizations called attention to a pair of May 16, 2015 court rulings that recommended the death penalty for 122 people, including former President Mohamed Morsy, the noted academic Emad Shahin, and many other Muslim Brotherhood officials. These rulings followed others that, according to the Egyptian Observatory for Rights and Freedoms, convicted 2,381 political dissidents during the first three months of the year. The rulings sentenced 194 people to death and 312 to life in prison. Amnesty International found that Egyptian courts have issued more than 742 death sentences since al-Sisi engineered Morsy’s ouster in July 2013 after unfair trials, some before military courts.
Definitely worse than under Mubarak, and well on its way to becoming the next Saudi Arabia.CAIRO (AP) — At least 2,600 people were killed in violence in the 18 months after the military overthrew Egypt's president in 2013, nearly half of them supporters of the Islamist leader, the head of a state-sanctioned rights body said Sunday.
Mohammed Fayeq, head of the National Council for Human Rights, told reporters that the 2,600 included 700 policemen and 550 civilians who were killed in the period between June 30, 2013 and Dec. 31, 2014.
The council is a nominally independent group sanctioned by the government. It has no judicial or law enforcement powers.
