The National Unity Brigades (Arabic: كتائب الوحدة الوطنية; Kata'ib al-Wehda al-Watania) was an alliance of Syrian rebel groups that participated in the Syrian Civil War. The group was formed in August 2012. Known for its non-sectarianism, the group included rebels from minority groups such as Christians, Druze, Ismailis, and Alawites.[3][1] The goal of the group was to establish a civil, democratic state for "all ethnicities and social identities".[5]
