TheArmy of Free Tribes (Arabic:جيش أحرار العشائر,romanized: Jaysh Ahrar al-Ashayer), previously called theSouthern Command and theCollective of Free Southern Tribesmen, is a Syrian rebel coalition affiliated with theFree Syrian Army and was headed byBrigadier GeneralIbrahim Fahad Al Naimi. The group was supported byJordan.
The Southern Command of the Free Syrian Army was established on 5 September 2014 in theQuneitra Governorate.[1] The group's commander, Brig. Gen. Ibrahim Fahad al-Naimi, threatened to arrest any rebel deserting the group.[4]
It was reported on 3 November 2014 that the Southern Command convinced theal-Nusra Front to leave Ghadir al-Bustan and al-Qseibah villages in theQuneitra Governorate, some miles away from theGolan Heights.[5]
After thefall 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.
