White is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist rebels led by Jolani (now known by his actual name, al-Sharaa). They launched the opposition offensive in November 2024 that ended the civil war. Al-Sharaa now leads the provisional government.
Green is the Syrian National Army, rebels primarily backed by Turkey. They have been incorporated into the new government and military.
Teal (in the southeast) is the Free Syrian Army, a small group primarily backed by the United States. They have also been incorporated into the new military.
Black/grey is ISIS. They’re still around and causing trouble, but not very powerful compared to their heyday.
Yellow/gold is Rojava, controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (mostly Kurdish, but with Arab and other components). Following failed negotiations, the SDF’s power mostly collapsed in the face of a military offensive in January 2026. They signed a complex deal with the new government and are being slowly integrated into the new system.
Red is the Assad regime. Assad fled to Moscow as his government completely collapsed in early December 2024.

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen
That’s how countries fall:
Slowly…slowly…then all at once.
And another year later, the new Free Syrian government would trigger the total collapse of the Kurdish led SDF/YPG in under a month…
One of the reasons Assad was overthrown was that Russia and Hezbollah were focusing on their own wars
I always imagined how it would look like if Assad would grant federacy to the Kurds and all right and self-goverment, for the support in going against Idlib or protecting from Idlib. We know that Kurd forces were paper-like similar to goverment forces, but maybe both of them could resist Idlib offensive.
Had a lot to do with Russia pulling resources for the invasion of Ukraine.
could be to highlight specific data trends more clearly
Al- Qaeda runs Syria now.
