Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sunni Arab tribes played a significant role in turning the tide against insurgents in Iraq. They actively cooperated with the US military and the Iraqi government to fight against Al Qaeda and other extremist groups. This cooperation was known as the "Awakening" or "Sahwa" movement and played a crucial role in defeating the insurgency in the country. The surge of troops deployed by General David Petraeus also helped to improve the security situation in Iraq, but it was primarily the cooperation of Sunni Arab tribes that helped to turn the tide against the insurgents. Shia Arab soldiers did play a role in the fight against Al Qaeda and other extremist groups, but they did not directly assist in the death of Osama Bin Laden. Finally, while ethnic cleansing between Shia and Sunni forces was a major issue during the Iraqi insurgency, it was not abolished through the actions of the Arab people.
