What is the SDF?

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is a Kurdish-led, multiethnic alliance of armed groups that was formed in 2015 during Syria’s civil war. While it includes Arab, Assyrian and other local factions, its backbone is the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which played a central role in the fight against ISIL (ISIS).
