Is it an idea to say that the insurgency started on 20 October 2017, when the SDF fully captured Raqqa? It was a pretty definitive moment in the end of ISIL as a state and would signify the start of their insurgency campaign. Furthermore the earliest insurgent attacks currently in the article are from November 2017, right after. I prefer stating a date rather than a general period because the current length of the insurgency campaign can't be shown right now. LyriaSiders (talk) 0:27, 31 January 2019

Since a few days ago at the time of writing, there has been a wave of clashes between Arabic tribal militias and SDF forces (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/30/several-killed-in-fighting-between-sdf-and-tribesmen-in-eastern-syria). I don't have a good understanding of the situation, but the fighting was apparently sparked by the SDF arresting a militia leader of questionable loyalty for insubordination. Since then, there has been a wave of clashes between rebelling tribal militias and SDF loyalists, and it seems to have killed a minimum of ~22-50+ people. Should we make a separate wikipedia page for these clashes? Randomuser335S (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomuser335S (talk • contribs) 17:17, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Randomuser335S: I would argue that we should just add it to this page, unless it escalates into a massive conflict. I have already made a small update. Applodion (talk) 17:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
