الحركة العشائرية في سوق الشيوخ 1935 : دراسة في وثائق البلاط الملكي

الملخص EN

The city of Suq al-Shuyukh had actively contributed to the course of social and political events witnessed by the areas of the middle Euphrates in general and the Muntafiq district in particular, through the tribal movements that prevailed in those areas in the first half of 1935.

the beginning of this movement was represented by demonstrations and protests by the tribes of Suq al-Shuyukh, after the spread of incidents throughout the areas of the middle Euphrates.

their most prominent demands were to cancel "Sarkala" and get rid of these heavy revenues, which did not exist in the rest of the Iraqi cities.

members of the al-Hajam tribe in Suq al-Shuyukh had fired shots at the police patrol, then the tribes attacked the police stations and started violent clashes that led to the withdrawal of the police through the earthy roads surrounding the city of Suq al-Shuyoukh.

then, the revolutionaries had broken into the governmental palace in the city, and the whole city became under their control.

then, after the martial administration was declared in the city, the government gave orders for warplanes to bomb the Suq al-Shuyukh district.

then, after the government forces took control of al-Hamar and al-Jbayish regions, the government asked the tribal sheikhs loyal to them to mediate for the withdrawal of the revolutionaries and not confront the government forces, and indeed that happened, and the government forces entered the city of Suq al-Shuyukh without a fight.
