What’s happening in Syria? A simple guide

CNN  

CNN — Syria’s civil war is back in the spotlight after a new rebel coalition launched a surprise attack, capturing two major cities, shattering the stalemate of a war that never formally ended. As Assad’s forces crushed the pro-democracy movement, an armed opposition began to form made up of small organic militias and some defectors from the Syrian military. The Syrian Democratic Forces – a US partner made up of Kurdish fighters - fought against ISIS, effectively ending the group’s territorial existence. The Syrian Democratic Forces are largely made up of Kurdish fighters from a group known as the Peoples’ Protection Units, which is considered a terrorist organization by neighboring Turkey.
