From comrades in the region:

In response to your questions about Fauda, I thought I would contribute what I know. Please keep this private or share it anonymously.
Fauda's online presence started in 2021. We noticed their presence during the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising in Iran when they expressed their solidarity on Instagram and shared many posts there.
We seem to be responsible for the current collective awareness of Fauda as well.
Because of that, we asked the Arab contacts we have and one group with Morrocan and Tunisian anarchists has better understanding of Fauda. These comrades are trying to form an Arab anarchist solidarity network.

You will notice the Logo of Fauda in their banner.
The concern for them is not that the group does not exist, but the contradictions between aesthetic & praxis.
We haven't contacted or collaborated with them because they are silent about Hamas, which has to do with what they said in their interview as "mediators." We find that extremely concerning.
We didn't promote them or the fundraising for them because of this.
I am not sure if fundraising at this moment is wise or effective. Sometimes, we ourselves do things with the fundraising aid that we can't disclose until months later.
