DAANES–Syria relations
The relations between the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the Syrian government concern the military and political relationship between the de facto autonomous multi-ethnic region in northern and eastern Syria and the central Syrian government. Relations first existed in the context of the Syrian civil war and the Rojava conflict, as Kurdish Syrians and other ethnic minorities established the DAANES, also translated in English as the Self-Administration of Northeast Syria, as a semi-autonomous region within Syria, then controlled by the Ba'athist regime and President Bashar al-Assad.
