The coastal Tarabin tribe called Sunday the North Sinai Bedouin community to work closely together and fight IS-linked Wilayet Sinai terrorist group, tribal spokesperson Moussa Al Delh told journalists. More than 12 Tarabin tribe leaders have issued a joint statement stressed the necessity of tackling the problem of Islamist insurgence in the Sinai Peninsula, adding that all tribes should pledge to help curb this phenomenon. The statement read that Wilayet Sinai, formerly known as Ansar Bayt Al Maqdis, is threatening all Egypt and not only Sinai, confirming the tribe's intention to deal with the terrorists who kill people on trumped-up charges, storm houses, and turn their Land into a battlefield. Egypt, particularly Sinai, has been plagued with Islamist insurgence targeting military and police personnel and sites, since the ousting of president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
