Abdul Jabbar al-Oqaidi (Arabic: عبد الجبار العكيدي, romanized: ʿAbd al-Jabbār al-ʿUkaydī) (also spelled al-Aqidi or al-Okaidi) is a former commander and spokesman for the Free Syrian Army in Aleppo. A former colonel in the Syrian Arab Army, he defected in early 2012. On 3 November 2013, he announced his resignation from the Aleppo Revolutionary Military Council due to disunity among the rebels and constant retreats from battles, including the Aleppo offensive (October–December 2013).
