Arima (Arabic: العريمة‎, Kurdish: Erîma‎), also spelled Orayma or Arimah, is a village located 20 kilometers (12 mi) northeast of the city of al-Bab and 65 kilometers (40 mi) northeast of Aleppo in northern Syria. In the 2004 census, it had a population of 2,839. The town of Qabasin is also to the south-west, and closer than Al-Bab. Manbij city is to the north-east.

Buffer zone

Early 2017 saw military clashes in and around Arima between Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces within the Turkish occupied zone and the Manbij Military Council (MMC). President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey had declared that Operation Euphrates Shield's target after al-Bab would be to rid Manbij of the Kurdish People's Protection Units.
On March 1, 2017 an agreement between the SDF and the Syrian government, established a buffer zone along the border between the MMC controlled Manbij area and the Turkish buffer zone. The deal brokered by Russia gave control of five villages to the Syrian government, and by March 4 the Syrian Army had entered the zone. By the 13th March Russian troops had also entered the zone.

Some further shelling of Arima by the FSA took place after the Syrian army had taken up positions in Arima

    Please, stop spam again in SDF areas of Syria, Manbij in particular (links to individuals in Twitter and "conflict maps" from people who are never responsible for their words and do not communicate with the public. How much can you repeat nonsense, which previously posted by "Niele" and his ilk?
