Humaydi Daham al-Hadi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheikh Humaydi Daham al-Hadi (also Hamidi Daham al-Hadi and Hmeidi Daham al-Jarba) is the leader in Syria of the Arab tribe of Shammar. In 2014, he was given a role described variously as co-president and co-governor of Jazira canton of Rojava in northern Syria.[1][2][3][4] He has actively promoted the campaign against ISIL, and has been a severe critic of Wahhabism.[1][5]

His son Bandar al-Humaydi is military leader of al-Sanadid Forces.[1]

He chaired a meeting of Arab tribal representatives in August 2017 that resulted in the foundation of the Democratic Conservative Party.[6] He was subsequently chosen as the party's first secretary general.[7] In March 2019, he traveled from northern Syria to Damascus, the Khmeimim Air Base and Baghdad for talks with Syrian, Russian and Iraqi officials. The visit was seen as a sign of his willingness to abandon the PKK in favour of the Syrian government.[8]
