With daily battles between rebel groups and regime forces, the situation in Syria is fluid. Here we map current territorial possession.
There was a brief moment, when the hastily formed rebel army stormed Aleppo in 2012, that outside observers were predicting the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad.
But committed as they were to bringing about the fall of the regime, they were unsuccessful, and three years into the civil war Assad – with support from his allies in Russia and Iran – remains secure.
As many as 140,000 people have died and millions driven from their homes. Syria is now divided – with large swathes of the country under the control of an array of competing rebel groups.
