Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.

Military Situation In Area Of Raqqah On April 12, 2017 (Syria Map Update)
This map shows the military situation in the area of the Syrian city of Raqqah on April 12, 2017. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been advancing in near the ISIS-held town of Tabqah and the Tabqa dam.
Wikipedia’s map shows a bit more territory under SDF control. I don’t think the SDF is in a big rush to take Raqqa as long there’s Daesh fighters fleeing from the region. We should see them make more major moves in the near future now that the US has retrieved their ISIS spy and probably got a boatload of information about ISIS strength around Syria off the 4 dead commanders.
this map barely changes compared to what going on in the rest of the country
