The Syrian Brigade Party is a Syrian political party.
History
It was reportedly formed by foreign members who were opposed to the Assad regime.[3]
The group's military wing, the Anti-Terrorism Force, was also established. Its mission was to "control chaos and protect Suwayda."[2] The group was dismantled in June 2022,[4] following an attack on the group by the National Defence Forces, Hezbollah, the Syrian Arab Army, as well as Druze and Bedouin fighters.[5]
Organization
The party includes different political offices, including party branches, an office for "civil affairs", a "women's office", civil defense and an armed branch known as the Anti-Terrorism Force.[6]
Policies
In an interview with Syria Direct, the head of the party, Malik Abu Khair, confirmed that the party was in favor of federalism.[7]
