Zubaida al-Meeki is an Alawite Free Syrian Army general, who defected from the Syrian Army to the FSA in 2012 during clashes in the town of Babbila. She became the first female officer to publicly announce her defection from the Army. Before her defection, she worked in the army's recruitment division in Babbila. After her defection, she stayed in Syria for two months where she trained 40-50 fighters of the Jond Allah (Soldiers of Allah battalion), before fleeing to Turkey.[1]
