Aws Al-Ghurairi-Baghdad

After a life full of warmth and harmony, the life of Abu Muhaiman and his large family has turned into homelessness and fatigue, considering that they are the victims of the tribal dikka, an ancient tradition held by tribes in many areas, especially in the south.

Abu Muhaiman, a police lieutenant, recounted his story to Al-Jazeera Net; he used to clean his weapon at home. If a shot came out wrongly, his wife was hit by a body without spirit, which prompted her family and clan to carry out the tribal dikka against his family.

Since that time, the life of Abu Muhaiman and his large family has been turned upside down. The clan of his deceased wife has attacked his family's house (which, along with his small family, lives with the families of his father and brothers).

The tribe's tribe is a centuries-old tradition where clan members gather with their sheikhs and children heavily armed at the home of a family from another clan, firing shots and throwing a hand grenade out of the house.

This would be a stern warning to motivate the targeted clan to sit down to negotiate and settle the dispute. If the target party does not agree, things will get worse and lead to a clash, which could lead to casualties on both sides.

He pointed out that al-Dikka exacerbated its negative consequences through the use of light and medium weapons causing casualties.
