The Shahba Canton[3][4][5] (Kurdish: Kantona Şehba, Arabic: مقاطعة الشهباء, Classical Syriac: ܦܠܩܐ ܕܓܙܪܬܐ, romanized: Pelqo d'Shahba) is a political unit of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, in the Aleppo Governorate.[6] The canton was established to administer the areas captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant west of the Euphrates, as part of the Afrin Region.[1][2][7][8]
The Shahba autonomous region was founded during the first and second conferences of the Shahba region in Afrin on 28 January 2016 and 2–4 February 2016. The conferences set up the Shahba Regional Assembly with its own council and senate and a de facto autonomous administration, created on 22 March 2016.[2][9][10] The borders of the canton are subject to change as a result of military developments in the Syrian civil war.
