Its population are mostly Sunni Muslim Arabs of the Shammar tribe. During the Syrian civil war, the town came under the control of jihadist rebels, including the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State, but was later captured by the Kurdish YPG,[3] bringing it into the AANES.
The town was the border post between French-Syria and British-Iraq and had a railway station on the Baghdad Railway. It is twinned by Rabia on the Iraqi side of the border.
