The Army of Free Tribes (Arabic: جيش أحرار العشائر, romanized: Jaysh Ahrar al-Ashayer), previously called the Southern Command and the Collective of Free Southern Tribesmen, is a Syrian rebel coalition affiliated with the Free Syrian Army and was headed by Brigadier General Ibrahim Fahad Al Naimi. The group was supported by Jordan.
History
The Southern Command of the Free Syrian Army was established on 5 September 2014 in the Quneitra Governorate.[1] The group's commander, Brig. Gen. Ibrahim Fahad al-Naimi, threatened to arrest any rebel deserting the group.[3]
It was reported on 3 November 2014 that the Southern Command convinced the al-Nusra Front to leave Ghadir al-Bustan and al-Qseibah villages in the Quneitra Governorate, some miles away from the Golan Heights.[4]
After the fall of the Assad regime and the civil war ended, opposition forces at Al-Tanf base were incorporated into the newly formed Ministry of Defense, and it is unclear whether the coalition still exists.
