Sahwa Forces Challenge Govt, and Win
By Ahmed Ali and Dahr Jamail
The Sahwa, referred to as Concerned Local Citizens, and Awakening Groups, by the U.S. military, were formed to battle al-Qaeda. Members are paid 300 dollars a month by occupation forces, and now number over 80,000 across Iraq. The Sunni-dominated groups form a counterweight to the government security apparatus, which has long been known to comprise primarily Shia militiamen.
