Sheikh Ali Hatem Ali Suleiman al-Dulaimi in a gazebo over the Euphrates River at one of his properties in North Ramadi. Ali Suleiman was one of the first sheikhs to rise up to fight al-Qaeda in the predominately Sunni Anbar Province as part of the Awakening movement in 2006. Today, Ali Suleiman says the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is trying to “destroy Anbari tribal society.”
