The Fastaqim Kama Umirt Union (Arabic: تجمع فاستقم كما أمرت, translit. Jame Fastaqim Kama Umirt, lit. 'Union of Be Upright as Ordered') was a rebel group active during the Syrian Civil War.[2]
History
On 26 April 2015, along with other major Aleppo based groups, they established the Fatah Halab joint operations room.[7][10]
On 2 November 2016, during the Aleppo offensive, Fastaqim Union fighters captured a military commander of Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki. In response, al-Zenki fighters attacked the Fastaqim Union's headquarters in the Salaheddine District and al-Ansari district of Aleppo. At least one rebel were killed and more than 25 wounded on both sides in the raid.[11] The next day, the Levant Front and the Abu Amara Brigades began to patrol the streets to arrest any rebels taking part in the clashes.[12] At least 18 rebels were killed in the infighting.[13]
The group was mostly dissolved when the Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki and the Abu Amara Brigades eventually captured all positions of the Fastaqim Union in eastern Aleppo in November 2016. Dozens of rebels from the latter group surrendered and were either captured, joined Abu Amara Brigades's parent group Ahrar al-Sham, or deserted. Some remnants of the Union remained active, but they were considered very weak.[1]
