The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), also known as Rojava, is an autonomous region in Syria. It is led by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and other allied parties. Rojava has a defense force known as the SDF, which includes the YPG, a Kurdish militia.[1]
Economy
The AANES has a decentralized economy with local cooperatives.[1]
Kurdish nationalism
The YPG assassinated Assyrian leader David Jindo in 2015 because he supported a united Syria and opposed Kurdish nationalism. In 2018, the PYD forced several Assyrian schools controlled by the Syrian Orthodox Church to close. Rojavan authorities published a book worshipping Kurdish warlord Simko Shakak who massacred Assyrian civilians.[1]
U.S. support
The SDF receives much of its arms from the United States and the U.S. has established seven military bases in the area.[1] The U.S. National Security Council called Rojava "another Israel in the region."[2]
