Syria's Assad Falls: Celebrations Erupt as President's Whereabouts Remain Unknown

 


In a stunning turn of events, Syrian opposition fighters have successfully taken control of Damascus, leading to widespread celebrations across the city. The whereabouts of President Bashar al-Assad remain unknown, with reports indicating that he has fled the capital.

As Syria enters a new chapter, the future of the country hangs in the balance, with hopes for a peaceful transition and rebuilding.
