more details...History

With the pressure mounting in Iraq, and the increasing loss to the  British contingent British forces have trouble on their hands, with the Old regime of Saddam  out of the way, and a return of the Shia Muslims trying to gain their rightful home and place in authority, However  resistant pockets of  Sunni insurgents are trying to make a name for themselves and reclaim SHAIBAH.

SHAIBAH lies in southern Iraq within close proximity to BASRA.

Operating from a British airbase nearby - 5 miles east of SHAIBAH & 10 miles south west of BASRA.

It is here in SHAIBAH that the Sunni's ruled & held power, however following the incarceration of Saddam and as the British forces trying to control & police the streets they are met with resistance from the Sunni Muslim faction ( the Sunni's follow the traditions of the Prophet Mohammed and believe their Muslim leaders should be elected.)

The Shia don't recognise authority of elected Mulsim Leaders and believe that rightful heirs should be granted authority.

With Saddam out of the way the control of SHAIBAH has become more difficult than first thought for the British, the UN are trying to orchestrate a unified Iraqi Government

The Iraqi police have been dismantled as they were corrupt & are being reformed, so the town of SHAIBAH became a lawless state with Shia & Sunni fighting for control.  British troops policing the town are under constant attack from Sunni groups who want to run the town (all of Iraq infact)

The Sunni & Shia  both don't like the presence of British forces in Iraq, & as they try to police the streets & orchestrate an new elect government for Iraq the Sunni & Shia both turn their attentions on the British troops there.

The Supreme Council of Revolutions - are a group of Iraqi's that were forced out of Iraq By Saddam & his Sunni Regime  they were forced to  take  refuge in Iran for years, now with Saddam out of the way they join the arm wrestle.

Abraheem AL Slabbah is leader & mastermind behind the Supreme Council his intentions is to take the town of SHAIBAH as it is a lead into BASRA

He will take out the Sunni resistance & the British troops (though he will co-operate with the british to rid the town of Sunni fighters who are also gunning for the town.

The Sunni fighters are headed up by Jamail Malik & His Sunni Muslim Iraq Party.

The SMIP are causing most trouble with the  constant attacks on British troops & live in the west of SHAIBAH.

The SCR take advice from the british on how to overcome their sunni adversary's

The British need to keep their whits about them as the patrol the city as both Sunni & Shia groups look to rid Iraq of Western influence

SunniMuslims (Jamail Malik & Sunni Muslim Iraq Party)  - live in west of the town of Shaibah, take pot shots & give resistance to the british, they want control under saddam style regime- were strong followers of saddam Hussein.

Shia Muslims (Abraheem AL Slabbah &The Supreme Council of Revolutions) Moving from exile in Iran want to move back into the town, constant fighting with the Sunni over Land. Main objective get footing back in Iraq Then make play for Basra- Shaibah is stepping stone to bigger picture.

Shia Also want control of SHAIBAH with their own ruling.

British forces (small contingent) there to police the city until a new government is formed & the Iraqi police are re assigned a new non corrupt dept.

British forces see Abraheem AL Slabbah as a tool to rid the town of Jamail Malik and his Sunni warriors.

British must deal with the attacks from Sunni's & Shia but also make contact with shia & the supreme council to broker a deal to join forces & Rid the streets of the Sunni threat.

British main gain is to use the shia against the sunni then turn their attentions on the shia's & bring in a UN elect  Iraqi  government.
