Introduction to Manbij, Syria
Manbij is an important border city in Aleppo Province in northern Syria, located on the west bank of the Euphrates River near the Turkish border. A strategic location with a long history dating back to Roman times, it was once an ancient hub of commercial routes. The city's population is predominantly Arab, with Kurdish and Turkmen communities.
Geography and Strategic Location
Located about 100 kilometers from Aleppo, Manbij is situated on a key front in the Syrian conflict, having been controlled by the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) between 2016 and 2019, and then taken over by the Syrian government forces after an internationally coordinated takeover. Its location is militarily significant as it controls the transportation line connecting Raqqa to Aleppo.
Economic and Social Conditions
The economy was traditionally based on agriculture and border trade, but has been severely damaged by war in recent years. The city retains the ruins of ancient Roman walls and Ottoman-era buildings, but the infrastructure has been severely damaged. Currently in a slow post-war reconstruction phase, the security situation is still affected by neighboring conflicts, and humanitarian aid is an important support for the local population.
