Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) is a self-governing region established by local Kurdish, Arab, and other communities in northeastern Syria. It operates with its own political structures, manages local services, and promotes decentralization, aiming to address region-specific needs independently of the Syrian central government. The AANES emerged primarily in response to conflicts and power struggles during the Syrian civil war, striving for democratic governance, ethnic inclusivity, and regional stability while navigating complex relations with neighboring states and international actors.
