Most sources show that the territory is largely under the control of Kurdish forces, at the same time there are pockets of regime control which haven't seen any action as far as I can tell (suggesting there is no SAA-YPG hostility).
Do the Kurds in power there show any intention to rejoin the government once ISIS and other Islamists are fully dealt with? Seeing as the only major challenge left for the government is Idlib, I suppose the next step is to extend government control over the east. After all, that's where the oil is. Sorry if this question seems a bit diffuse, any contribution is welcome.
