- Who are the inhabitants of tenderness?

Democratic forces Syria is leading the battle to expel the organization Daesh from the city of Raqqa, his stronghold in Syria, and give rise to potential control of the city questions about who will manage tenderness in the future.

Tenderness city located on the banks of the Euphrates River in northern Syria, and was inhabited before the war, 300 000 people, most of them Arab Sunni citizens, and also including about 20 percent of Kurdish citizens who were concentrated "in the slums in the north of the city," according to what he says expert Geography Syrian affairs Fabrice Balanc.

In March / March 2013, and two years after the start of the protest movement against the Syrian government, opposition fighters and managed Front victory of the control of the city to be the first province in Syria beyond the regime's authority.

After less than a year, the imposition of the organization Daesh control of the city, prompting the majority of the Kurdish population to flee.

After fleeing Kurds and other minorities of Christians, Armenians and the entry into force make up less than one percent of the population, it has become, according to Balanc, "99 percent of the population of tenderness of the Sunni Arabs."

- Who will manage tenderness?

Syria's democratic forces intend after the expulsion Daesh of tenderness, "delivered to civilian and military of the people of the city in all social and tribal Perigord Council," according to what he said spokesman Talal Slaw told AFP, denying "the existence of any sensitivity for the participation of the Kurdish units" in the battle of tenderness.

In mid-April and during its progress in the direction of the city, Syria's democratic forces announced the creation of a "civilian council" interested in managing the affairs of the city of Raqqa and its suburbs after the expulsion of the organization Daesh.

Syria's democratic forces confirmed that this "Civic Council" composed of people of the province of Raqqa with all their constituents, including tribal elders and political and cultural figures.

He explains the public relations official at the Council Omar Alloush said the council includes "14 body, including justice, health, education, youth, women and internal security services, and mission management matters liberated areas and ensure the provision of services and keeping stability."

Search has not been, according to Alloush, in the "question of accession to the Syrian Federation of the North" announced by the Kurds in the March / March 2016 in their control areas in the north and northeast Syria.

But this council "civil" remains insufficient to reassure Kurdish opponents, including Turkey and its allies of the Syrian opposition factions.

Ankara considers protection units of the Kurdish people, the backbone of the Syrian forces of democracy, "terrorist" organization and an extension of the PKK, which is leading a revolt against decades.

Therefore it raises Washington's support for Syria's democratic forces in general and Kurds in particular anger Ankara.

- the face of Arab Kurdish?

Sees Balanc that "the Kurds aspire to a scenario similar to what happened in Manbej", a former stronghold of al Daesh, which was dominated by Syria democratic forces in August / August 2016.

After controlling Manbej, it was established a civilian council to manage the affairs of the city, but that did not prevent Kurdish opponents, and especially Ankara and opposition factions backed by them, bellow, accusing Syria of democracy forces effectively control the city.

He says Balanc "There is a Kurdish minority in Manbej depends strongly on the Democratic Union Party (the political arm of the Kurdish units), but this does not apply to tenderness."

The analyst believes that "the families of the tenderness is not ready to accept a Kurdish dominance."

And it disagreed MP in the Syrian People's Faisal Alsabat, one of the elders of the tribe "birth", one of the most important clans of tenderness.

Says Alsabat "troops advancing towards tenderness does not enjoy popular support," he said, adding that "who participated in the Council does not represent the people of the tribes at all and do not represent only themselves."

- What do you do Damascus?

As long as Damascus is also considered that the tenderness "priority" of the Syrian army, but the latter did not interfere too much in this front. In general, there is the impression of the convergence of interests between the Kurds and the government. He said Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in one of his press conferences: "We believe that what the Kurdish citizens in Syria in the fight Daesh is legitimate."

Sees Balanc that "the Syrian army does not want to lose its elements to restore tenderness at the time of Syria's democratic forces provide for it."

The Syrian army is currently advancing in the countryside of Aleppo (north-east) adjacent to the province of tenderness, and located near the administrative border between the two provinces. And was able to control two days before the two villages in the province of Raqqa.

He explains that the Syrian army Balanc currently resides in a nearby area "waiting for the inevitable emergence of problems between the Kurds and the Arabs on the one hand and Arabs among themselves on the other hand, to provide the same result as a stabilizing factor."

It is better for Damascus, according Balanc, reached an agreement to enter the city. An agreement which mainly depends on the two superpowers, Russia and the United States.

The spokesman confirms Syria's democratic forces Talal Slaw that "the issue of the involvement of the Syrian army in the battle of tenderness contingent on understandings between the international coalition (led by Washington) and the Russians."
