A historic moment took place in Syria on Sunday as news spread that President Bashar al-Assad had fallen. After more than ten years of war, his reign was over. Rebel forces from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and their allies had moved fast over the past week, seizing key cities like Aleppo and Homs. By Sunday morning, they had made their way into Damascus, announcing they had taken control and that Assad had fled the city. People poured into the streets, celebrating the fall of the regime. Some climbed onto statues of Assad’s father, others chanted, “Syria is ours.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
