History[edit]
The group established itself in July 2017, in north-western Syria, mostly by advertising itself through YouTube propaganda videos of battle against Syrian Forces. Though unaffiliated, it has, through its YouTube videos, normally shown support to Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra Front. Throughout its history, it has openly shown it's hatred for China and the CCP, especially the government's treatment of Uyghur's.[1][2]
In March 2018, the group expanded throughout Idlib and Hama governorate, with help from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.[3]
In October 2018, Katibat al-Ghuraba al-Turkistan trained with Malhama Tactical in the Latakia, Syria, after, they uploaded a video of them doing so.[4]
In August 2021, the group expanded throughout Syria and started occupying territory including the areas of Qalb Lawze and Jabal al-Sammaq.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
