The NGO played a key role in the US-backed regime change operation in Syria that toppled Bashar al-Assad
The White House has terminated tens of millions of dollars of funding for the White Helmets, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated NGO that played a key role in the US-backed regime change war in Syria.
CNN reported on 28 March that a contract worth $30 million from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for the White Helmets was terminated as part of US President Donald Trump’s sweeping reforms of the agency.
A smaller contract, worth $1.4 million, from the US State Department to the White Helmets remains in place.
The White Helmets, also known as Syria Civil Defense, was founded by former British intelligence officer James Le Mesurier in Turkiye in 2013 to carry out psychological operations in Syria as part of the broader CIA-backed war to topple the government of Bashar al-Assad and bring Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to power.
The group, which marketed itself as a search and rescue organization, was originally funded by Mayday Rescue, an NGO based in Istanbul and founded by Le Mesurier and other former British soldiers. Mayday enjoyed funding from several countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Canada.
