Since the withdrawal of US ground support, there was a loss of territory by Rojava which interfered with coordination and also displaced around a hundred thousand people but on the plus side, it didn’t result of a collapse of Rojava.
Rojava is now an autonomous region covering about 30% of Syria. Their de facto region of control is shown in yellow on this map. The major city, Raqqa, has seen a return of population since it was captured from ISIS in 2017, but much of the cities is still in ruins. It’s a bit sad to think of all the children growing up thinking that this is just how the world works, but at least they are growing up.
The de facto capital is Ayn Issa (Spring of Jesus), somewhat closer to the contact line with Turkish forces. The 43 seat parliament is dominated by independents.
Per WP:
While entertaining some foreign relations, the region is not officially recognized as autonomous by the government of Syria or any state except for the Catalan Parliament. The AANES has widespread support for its universal equal democratic, sustainable, autonomous pluralist, equal, and feminist policies in dialogues with other parties and organizations. Northeastern Syria is polyethnic and home to sizeable ethnic Kurdish, Arab and Assyrian populations, with smaller communities of ethnic Turkmen, Armenians, Circassians, and Yazidis.The supporters of the region’s administration state that it is an officially secular polity with direct democratic ambitions based on an anarchistic, feminist, and libertarian socialist ideology promoting decentralization, gender equality, environmental sustainability, social ecology and pluralistic tolerance for religious, cultural and political diversity, and that these values are mirrored in its constitution, society, and politics, stating it to be a model for a federalized Syria as a whole, rather than outright independence. The region’s administration has also been criticized by various partisan and non-partisan sources over supposed authoritarianism, support of the Syrian government, Kurdification, and has faced some accusations of displacement. However, despite this the AANES has been the most democratic system in Syria, with direct open elections, universal equality, respecting human rights within the region, as well as defense of minority and religious rights within Syria.
There is a dual presidency, currently
