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.

The rapid advance of rebel groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has marked the end of Assad's 13-year rule and the collapse of the Assad family's 50-year dynasty. Crowds gathered in Damascus squares, chanting anti-Assad slogans and honking car horns, as soldiers and police officers abandoned their posts.
