Det är förvirrande och det blir bara värre när man börjar läsa om det. Det som du säger om den prokurdiska gruppen säger även dem om proregim gruppen. Du beskrev den prokurdiska gruppen som utbrytare från orginalet och att de skulle ha få medlemar. Enligt dem så finns den andra gruppen bara i något område i Qamishli och de var utbrytarna. På sajten så står det att de har 1000+ medlemar.

Qamishli "Sootoro"
In February 2013, the Qamishli branch of the Sutoro began open operations in the Christian neighbourhood of Wusta, which is located near the city centre and has an Assyrian/Syriac majority with a significant Armenian minority.Though it was initially organised by the Syriac Union Party (just like the branches in Qahtaniyah and Malikiyah), the Qamishli militia was subsequently brought under the control of a so-called "peace committee" composed of several Christian organisations from the city.[5] The SUP soon lost virtually all influence on this group,[7] which became seen by many SUP members as being controlled by agents of the Syrian government.[5]
In late 2013, the split between this branch and the rest of the Sutoro became clear. Now transliterating its name as "Sootoro" (alternately referring to itself as the "Syriac Protection Office"), the militia in Qamishli adopted an entirely different logo and started openly asserting a separate identity. In November, the media office of the Qamishli Sootoro stated that it operated exclusively in the city of Qamishli and had not formed branches anywhere else, furthermore accusing militias outside the city of having appropriated their name; by December, the group was explicitly disavowing any connection to the SUP in their press releases. Though it continues to officially claim neutrality, the Qamishli Sootoro has become effectively a pro-government militia. Members of the group are frequently shown next to government flags and portraits of Bashar al-Assad in visual media, and flags bearing its distinct logo have been seen at pro-Assad rallies in the government-controlled sector of the city.[4]
