Syrian National Democratic Alliance
Political party in Syria
The Syrian National Democratic Alliance (Arabic: التحالف الوطني الديمقراطي السوري, al-Tahaluf al-Watani al-Democrati al-Suri, TWDS) is a left-wing multi-ethnic political party established in 2014 in northern Syria.[1]
The alliance was founded during the Syrian Civil War and the war has considerably affected its policies to become very critical of totalitarianism and extremist beliefs.[2] However the party is "ready to build bridges with the parties that recognize the right of Syria's components in general and the Kurds in particular", according to party leader Alaeddine Khaled.[3]
The party has 5 politicians in the Democratic Assembly of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria and the party leader, Ahmad Araj, is one of the seven members of the Executive Council.[4][5]
