The Syrian National Resistance (Arabic: المقاومة الوطنية السورية al-Muqawama al-Wataniya al-Souriya) was an officially independent political coalition active in Aleppo Governorate and allied with both the Syrian Ba'athist government as well as the Syrian Democratic Forces. It was primarily fighting against the Turkish military intervention in Syria, although it was also opposed to various Islamist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The launch was announced on 6 September 2016 by Rezan Hedo, the head of the group’s political bureau.[1][4] At that time Hedo was also an independent member of the Syrian Democratic Council.[5][6]
