Sunni tribal leaders have been meeting in the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region, Erbil, to pledge their support for the their community’s month-long rebellion against the Iraqi government.
The men said Sunni politicians in parliament do not represent them, and while they have differences with the Islamic State group, they would work to them until they take Baghdad.
