That surprises me, as I just tried the same and came up with it instantly, anyway it’s commonly referred to as “Rojava” and it stands for “Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria”, a de-facto autonomous regione in northeastern Syria.
Basically it’s many self governing sub regions of Syria, governing themselves following the political model of Democratic Confederalism.
Oh, that thing.
Thanks.
I don’t know why ddg didn’t find it.
It’s usually pretty good.
Wikipedia did find it right away.
Maybe next time, I’ll just skip ddg and go right to Wikipedia.
Seriously, web search is becoming increasingly useless, now that powerful AI is being used to fuck with their ranking algorithms.
I did a cursory web search for DAANES and came up with nothing. What do you mean by it?
