Syriac Military Council

The Syriac Military Council (MFS) is a Kurdish-led militia composed mainly of Syriac and Assyrian Christians in northeastern Syria. It was formed to defend their communities from threats, including Islamic State militants and other armed groups. The MFS operates within the broader context of regional conflicts, often collaborating with Kurdish-led forces like the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Its goal is to protect and secure their historical homeland, promote regional stability, and advocate for the rights of Syriac Christian populations in Syria.
