Rojava is the Kurdish name for Kurdish-majority regions of Syria, and is still commonly used to describe the wider autonomous region officially known as North and East Syria (NE Syria). The region is administrated by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), its highest political assembly is the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), and its unified military force is the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)âŚ

[TRUMP'S ALLIES IN SYRIA] Jabhat al-Nusra: An Enduring, Yet Imperfect Adversary [UPDATES]
Photo Credit: Counter Jihad Report By Sam Rosenberg, Guest Contributor Over the past several years, Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) has built a sustain
Over the past several years, Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) has built a sustainable organization in Syria that will not easily be defeated. Since its establishment in 2012 during the Syrian Civil War, JN has shown that it has learned from al-Qaedaâs past mistakes. The group established deep ties to the local population, cementing popular support by recruiting locally, avoiding excessive civilian casualties, and delaying the imposition of overly harsh sharia laws. However, JN is not perfect. The groupâs most significant weakness is its dependence on continued fighting in Syriaâs civil war. The groupâs ties to al-Qaeda also present unique challenges. The US-led air campaign, however, has not yet significantly affected JN like it has other groups, such as the Islamic State. That may change, should the focus and intensity of air operations shift. JNâs future prospects, therefore, are largely dependent upon four factors: popular support, continued conflict in Syria, management of the al-Qaeda brand, and US-led airstrikes. In sum, the group is focused on a âSyria-Firstâ strategy and will forgo attacking the West, at least in the short-term. If, however, JN networks and bases of support remain in place, they will likely lay the ground-work for an al-Qaeda emirate in Syria, one that will likely develop the capability and resources to strike the West in the futureâŚ

[28 NOV 2023] Washington Must Continue its Support for Rojava [UPDATES]
Withdrawal from Rojava would jeopardize U.S. efforts against ISIS, diminish the ability to combat the terrorist groups.
The people of Rojava, residing in the Kurdish-majority region of northeast Syria, historically faced oppression under the Baathist regime in Damascus before the 2011 Syrian Civil War. Kurdish rights were severely curtailed, a reality shared by Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, and Iran under their respective national governments. In response to the civil war, Syrian Kurds formed a multiethnic, democratic confederation in northeast Syria for self-defense and mutual aid. During the war, they confronted an existential threat from ISIS, notably during the 2015 battle of Kobani. U.S. intervention provided crucial assistance to the Kurdish-led Peoplesâ Protection Units (YPG), leading to a successful counter-attack against ISIS and the reclamation of seized territoryâŚ
