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]

The military wing was re-established around July 2025 [6] and became part of the National Guard the following month. [7]

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. [8]

Policies

In an interview with Syria Direct, the head of the party, Malik Abu Khair, confirmed that the party was in favor of federalism. [9]
