The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) operates an office in Washington DC
"The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) operates an office in Washington DC, the US Mission of the Syrian Democratic Council, in order to facilitate political and diplomatic cooperation. SDC views the United States as an essential ally in providing security and stability in Syria and preventing the re-emergence of ISIS."
"The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) is a regional authority responsible for governing approximately 31% of Syrian territory, providing services such as electricity, education, sanitation, and security and policing services. It is officially called the Self-Administration of North and East Syria. It is home to approximately four million people, including many internally displaced persons.
The military wing of the SDC, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), are allied with the US military and the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, to enact the enduring defeat of ISIS. SDF fighters have been the ones on the frontlines against religious extremism. For example, SDF fighters were the ones who fought and died in the final battle against the ISIS “caliphate” in Baghouz, Syria, in March 2019, resulting in a victory celebrated across the world and announced by President Donald J. Trump. These brave fighters liberated their homeland in the process, fighting for the ideals that the SDC stands for.
The SDC is not aligned with the Syrian government under Assad, nor with the civil opposition associated with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) or the National Front for Liberation, though the SDC remains open to negotiations with both parties. “
