Iraqi Sunnis forced to abandon homes and identity in battle for survival | World news | The Guardian: Sunnis who had moved back into restive communities as the five-year convulsion of violence started to abate in 2008 have again been forced out, this time mostly by Isis extremists who claim to be fighting in the name of their faith. In Baquba, Shia militias who have at times been indiscriminate as they lead the pushback against Isis have also exiled residents. And, in Tikrit, the predominantly Sunni city that was reclaimed from Isis by Shia militias and Iraqi forces last week, reports have emerged of looting and sabotage at the hands of the conquerers.
