United Freedom Forces
The United Freedom Forces is a joint expatriate militia of several revolutionary socialist organizations from Turkey, most notably the Revolutionary Communard Party, active in the Rojava conflict of the Syrian Civil War.
Inspired by the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War, the militia was founded in December 2014 in Kobanê within the de facto autonomous region of Rojava in Syria.
The predominant Hoxhaist Marxist–Leninist Communist Party and the Maoist TİKKO did not join the United Freedom Forces, but together with other communist groups from Turkey, Spain and Greece, in June 2015, they altogether formed the International Freedom Battalion.
