The map shows the advancements made by the YPG, YPJ, SMC, Jaysh al-Thuwar, al-Sanadid and other members of the SDF alliance who are the armed forces of the internationally unrecognized "Democratic Federation of Northern Syria," known commonly as "Rojava." The lighter the colour, the sooner the advancement in that area occurred. Note that some areas have been retaken multiple times. For example, Tel Abyad was initially taken from ISIS in June 2015 but they briefly took most of it back in February the next year before the YPG restored control. For these cases, only the latest retaking is showed. All the other colours are areas controlled by other forces, such as the SAA, HTS and ISIS.

If I have missed something please tell me. Especially if it's before mid-2013 where information is a lot harder to find.



Updated 26/12/2017 for the end of the year. More end of year maps will be coming soon.
