On 16 August 2017, Muhammad Sufian Hassan, commander of the Dawn of Unity Division, was appointed as the commander of the National Front for the Liberation of Syria.[1]
In its formation statement, the group supported the Syrian people's "right to self-determination" and rejected ideas that "contradict the interests of the revolution". It also rejected foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War that are not consistent with the group's goals, and called on all opposition militias and political bodies in the region to unite.[2] A number of the group's units were part of the Southern Front.
