Nazhan Sakher, left, smokes a cigarette in the bedroom of the base on the frontline outside the city of Makhmour, northern Iraq, during a break in this Monday, April 20, 2015 photo. He leads a group of around 300 fighters from the al-Lehib tribe who have reluctantly allied with Iraqi troops and Kurdish forces to fight the Islamic State group — and fellow tribesmen who still support the extremists.
