What is the DAANES?

The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), is a 'de facto' autonomous region in northeastern Syria.

It consists of self governing sub regions in the areas of Afrin, Jazira, Euphrates, Raqqa, Tabqa, Manbij, and Deir Ez-Zor.

The region gained its de facto autonomy in 2012 in the context of the ongoing conflict and the wider Syrian civil war, in which its official military force, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), has taken part.
