Gas, oil, phosphates and sulphur, which lie underground in the region of Anbar, to the South West of Bagdad, are the richest natural resources in Iraq. The region, which is very largely Sunni, and was for a long time controlled by Al Qaeda, is today highly prized.

In addition to the international competition the various international oil companies engange in - Total lost the market to South Korean and Kazakh companies - the relaunch of the Akkas gas field exploitation could ignite the conflict opposing local and central government.
