Shabiha
Shabiha (Levantine Arabic: ', ; also romanized Shabeeha or Shabbiha'''; ) is a colloquial and generally derogatory term for various loosely-organised Syrian militias loyal to the Ba'athist government and the Assad family prior to the regime's collapse in 2024, used particularly during the initial phase of the Syrian civil war. As the war evolved, many groups that had previously been considered shabiha were amalgamated into the National Defence Force (NDF) and other paramilitary groups.
