From its defeat in 2007 at the hands of the JSOC and the Anbar Awakening Councils, ISIS has been resurrected from the ashes stronger than before. ISIS fighters have begun attacking the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and risk sparking another sectarian civil war. As the ISF has proven incapable of dealing with this threat, Shia militias are being reactivated while neighboring Iran is considering taking a greater role in the conflict. The factors for the ISIS’ resurgence are many, and include incompetence by the Iraqi Security Forces, a feeling of Sunni marginalization and a general uprising against the Iraqi government, a shift in tactics used by the ISIS, and finally its appeal among jihadist circles. Ultimately all factors will have to be considered if the Iraqi government wishes to reassert control over their own country. However until then, the ISIS will continue operating with impunity and Iraq will continue its descent into sectarian chaos.
