Sunni insurgency
The Sunni insurgency refers to armed protests and attacks by Sunni Muslim groups against governments, primarily in Iraq and Syria, aiming to challenge their dominance or influence. These insurgencies often emerge from feelings of marginalization or injustice, seeking to restore Sunni power or oppose sectarian policies. They involve guerrilla tactics, bombings, and ambushes, and can contribute to ongoing violence, instability, and conflict in the region. The insurgency is a complex mix of political, religious, and social factors, influenced by regional rivalries and historical tensions between Sunni and Shia communities.
