It would mean the division of the country along sectarian (religious) and ethnic lines. The war is viewed of as largely a sectarian conflict. Russia, the United States, Israel, and other UN representatives have suggested the idea of "federal division" (an effort deemed "Balkanization"). President Bashar al-Assad has not ruled out the possibility of a federal democratic state of Syria. The opposition, however, has rejected the offer during negotiations.
Rojava, "Syrian Kurdistan", was declared an autonomous federation on 17 March 2016.
