Saddam Hussein's clan said that it had asked the government through a police officer to allow its young people to participate in the process of keeping the ground in Tikrit. Most of the members of the clan live now in Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan region after Awja village turned into a burned area by the battles that took place since last summer.
The Iraqi forces have launched a massive campaign to restore Tikrit, three days ago while Awja has been regained before this period, which is away from the city center about five kilometers to the south.
Sheikh Manaf al-Neda, one of the elders of Albu Nasir tribe and the son of Sheikh, Hassan al-Neda said that "The clan names nominated names of those willing to participate in the maintenance of the land and prepared them to return by a known police officer in Salahuddin.
"He said that "but no one respond to approve it so far not the government nor any other people."The Clan says that it is suffering from exclusion and marginalization after the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, while was accused last June of participating in killing soldiers in Speicher Base.
Which is denied by Sheikh Neda again in press conferences or TV interviews. Neda said that "Awja sons helped soldiers of the fourth brigade to reach Samarra, so how the clan is involved in killing soldiers in Speicher Base.
"The fourth brigade is in the center of Awja village where the other is located on the road to Samarra, the largest city of Salahuddin province.
