THE militia group a Brisbane man claims to have joined in their fight against ISIS has started an online recruitment drive.

Kurdish-aligned outfit the Lions of Rojava have appealed for a range of people, “not just fighters”, to join their cause against ISIS combatants in the war-torn Middle East.

“We need specialists like architects, doctors, engineers, technology specialists, media and translators,” they write on the group’s official website.

“We need street artists, musicians and cultural people. If you want to come stay here, please reach out to us with what you can offer. We also need revolutionary people who understand what is happening here.”

It is the same group former Brisbane man Ashley Dyball joined earlier this year after he slipped into the Middle East while on a trip through Europe. He has since posted on Facebook that he is on a break from “the frontline” in Sweden, a popular destination for Kurdish asylum seekers.

Gold Coast man Reece Harding was also with the group when they announced he had been killed in a bomb blast.

The mishmash outfit of international vigilantes writes that successful applicants to their cause will spend up to “months” learning about sociological concepts before engaging in other activities.

“That means understanding what Rojava is about, learning to speak the language and how the society works.

“This is a revolution, not a Facebook event.”

Australian man Ashley Johnston was said to have also been fighting with the group when they announced he had been killed in gunfire earlier this year. The group referred to him as Heval Bagok, which was the same name they bestowed upon Mr Harding because of his similar appearance to Mr Johnston.

The Lions of Rojava encourage applicants to “fully study the information”

“Understand that we cannot pay volunteers, as all resources go towards the war effort,” the group writes.

It is illegal under Commonwealth laws for Australians to enter the combat zone without sanction from the Federal Government.

However, former Northern Territory Labor president Matthew Gardiner was said to have joined to the group but has since arrived back into Australia without charge.
