Sheikh Humaydi Daham al-Hadi (also Hamidi Daham al-Hadi and Hmeidi Daham al-Jarba; Arabic: حميدي دهام الهادي الجربا, 1936 – 10 November 2022) was the leader of the Arab tribe of Shammar in Syria.
Biography
Al-Hadi al-Jarba was born in Tall Ulu al-Ula, al-Hasakah Governorate in 1936,[1] to Daham ibn al-Hadi ibn al-Assi al-Jarba (1890–1976), who was the leader of Shammar tribe and a member in the People's Assembly of Syria.
In 2014, he was given a role described variously as co-president and co-governor of Jazira canton of Rojava in northern Syria.[2][3][4][5] He has actively promoted the campaign against ISIL, and has been a severe critic of Wahhabism.[2][6]
His son Bandar al-Humaydi is military leader of al-Sanadid Forces.[2]
He chaired a meeting of Arab tribal representatives in August 2017 that resulted in the foundation of the Democratic Conservative Party.[7] He was subsequently chosen as the party's first secretary general.[8] In March 2019, he traveled from northern Syria to Damascus, the Khmeimim Air Base and Baghdad for talks with Syrian, Russian and Iraqi officials. The visit was seen as a sign of his willingness to abandon the PKK in favour of the Syrian government.[9]
On 10 November 2022, he died at hospital in Erbil, aged 86.[1][10][11]
