  • Jabhat Ansar al-Din - Wikipedia
    Jabhat Ansar al-Din[3] (Arabic: جبهة أنصار الدين‎, The Supporters of the Religion Front) is a jihadist alliance that announced itself on 25 July 2014 during the Syrian Civil War.[1] The alliance contains two groups: Harakat Sham al-Islam and Harakat Fajr ash-Sham al-Islamiya; it has declared that is not affiliated with any other "parties".[1] The Green Battalion was originally a signatory, but around October 2014 it swore allegiance to the leader of Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar and was integrated into that faction.[6] The alliance has attempted to maintain neutrality in the conflict between ISIL and other groups.[3]
    The groups involved in the coalition have diverse memberships; Harakat Fajr Sham al-Islamiya numbers mostly Syrians from the Aleppo area,[7] while Harakat Sham al-Islam was formed around a core of Moroccan fighters,[8] the Green Battalion mainly had fighters from Saudi Arabia[8] and Jaish al-Mujahireen wal-Ansar was formed by Chechen and other Russian-speaking fighters.[9] On 23 September 2015, Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar left and joined Jabhat al-Nusra.[10]
