The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, often called Rojava, is an autonomous region in northeastern Syria, parts of this region are occupied by Turkey - Afrin.

Now Idlib is almost over. The so-called rebels (jihadists) have handed their weapons to Turkey, and Assad is in control of the situation.



Muslim Brotherhood (Turkey and Qatar) have begun to propagate propaganda that the US occupy Rojava - and it is necessary to liberate the area from the white man's imperialism. To fight the racist Trump evil in Syria.
The truth, however, is that PYD has the power here, even if they are in need of American aid to survive - when Turkey is a major threat.
PYD follows Abdullah Öcalan's theory of democratic confederalism, and can thus be regarded as liberal socialists. It's going to be extremely interesting to see which side the Swedish left will be on, Turkey and Panarabic activists - or PYD, the latter should be the ones closest to the left - and, for example, Jonas Sjöstedt has used these during his election campaign, despite He supports Turkey in other issues such as the fight against Israel, has had personal meetings with people with links to the Turkish National Association.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm very afraid that the Swedish left will buy the propaganda straight away, thus stopping on Turkey's side. Hope that will not be the case.

PYD has previously called together with some other democratic groups (both Kurds and non-Kurds) in Syria an autonomy called Rojava, the autonomy extending from Qamishlo to Efrin. In Rojava, Kurds, Syrians, Armenians and Arabs live side by side.

Saxat from Wikipedia:
"Northern Syria has since had a Kurdish population before the Kurds. During the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the region between 1516 and 1922, Kurds in the region increased both because of voluntary migration and forced relocations from Anatolia. A large number of Assyrians also settled in area after moving from the Ottoman Empire after the Armenian / Assyrian folkmood in 1915 and from Iraq after Simelemassakern.

When Syria became independent in 1945, its northern parts were a multiethnic area populated by Arabs as well as Kurds, Assyrians, Arabs, Turkmen and Yazidians. However, the nationalist governments after independence implemented a number of measures to arabize the Kurds, not least noticed a ban on teaching in the Kurdish language.
------
Northern Syria is a multiethnic region, and the three largest ethnic groups are Kurds, Arabs and Christian Assyrians / Syrians, but there are also other ethnic and religious minorities such as Armenians, Turkmen, Tjerkesser, Chechen and Yazidier. The largest languages ​​are Kurdish, Arabic, Nynorsk and Turkish. Majorities are Al-Hasakah, Qamishli, Manbij, Kobane, Ra's al-Ayn, Al-Malikiyya, Tall Abyaḑ and until recently Afrin. "
