History
Foundation
The council was founded on December 21, 2018, as a tribal political group opposed to the Ba'athist Syria, by Abdul Aziz Salem Al-Musallat, composed of 150 Syrian clans and tribes,[2] with the aim of uniting the tribes east of the Euphrates and liberate the areas controlled by the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.[3]
Activities
On December 15, 2024, the group, led by Dr. Jihad Mar’i, met with Hikmat al-Hijri, the meeting addressed the coexistence between the components of Syrian society.[4] In 2025 the group congratulated Ahmed al-Sharaa on his victory against the Ba'athist Syria.[5]
During Southern Syria clashes the group fought against the Druze militias but declared their withdrawal from Suwayda Governorate.[6][7]
