Shroug (Arabic: الشروق; Iraqi Arabic: الشروگ; lit. "those from the east") is a term in Iraq used to describe a Shia Arab social group from Southern Iraq. The word Shroug had also been used as a derogatory term by Sunni Arabs against Shia Arabs of Southern Iraq.

History

The term Shroug was used by the Sunni tribes of the Middle Euphrates to refer to the Shia tribes around Amara District. Shroug literally meant "easterners" and was sometimes used as a slur. The Sunni tribes of the Middle Euphrates tribes viewed the Shroug as having deviated from their Bedouin tributes and changed their traditions and customs.

The misery and extreme poverty of the Shroug was one of the causes of the July 14, 1958 revolution. Their number in 1958 was estimated at about 100,000 people. The Shroug later increased their social prominence as they began migrating from the countryside to the cities. Some Shroug also resided in the Marshes alongside the Marsh Arabs. Although the term Shroug initially referred to Amara District, it later was used to refer to Shia Arabs from Southern and Southeastern Iraq. Others claimed that the term Shroug came from "Sharubak", meaning "the natives" in Sumerian.
