Ghuraba al-Sham (Template:Lang-ar Ghurabā’ ash-Shām, "Strangers/Foreigners of the region of Syria") is a group of fighters in favor of a civil state.[1] As of May 2013, Ghuraba al-Sham has clashed with the Al Nusra Front, the Al-Tawhid Brigade and the al-Sham Liberals.[2]
Structure
The group used to number around 2,000 men, but in May 2013 it clashed with fundamentalist formations and most of its fighters dispersed. Ghuraba al-Sham's arsenals were confiscated by the fundamentalists and now it only has around 100 fighters in its ranks.[1]
