Created Page-Syrian Democratic Forces
The Syrian Democratic Forces are one of the main rebel coalitions in the [[Syrian Civil War]]. The SDF formed in 2015 to drive Islamists out of Syria. They are Anti-ISIS, but not necessarily Anti-Assad. They are the second most powerful army in Syria, after the Government. The SDF led the fight against [[ISIS]] and captured many of the Caliphate's major cities, including Raqqa. They are considered by many to be the most powerful force in the war. They run their territory under a civilian government, including a parliament and two elected co-presidents. The [[Free Syrian Army]] also approved many of it's units to fight under the command of the SDF to better combat the Islamic State. In 2021, it occupied a quarry and the 2KM area around said quarry previously controlled by Assad, signaling a more active policy in fighting him, or at least entering territory where his line collapses. The Syrian branch of the [[PKK]] was originally expected to be a powerbroker within the Democratic Forces, but they failed completely in the parliamentary elections. [[Antifa]], a terrorist group that operates primarily in North America and Western Europe considers the SDF to be on the frontlines of the global war on fascism, and sent a brigade to help them.
