Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled Damascus as rebel forces seized key parts of the capital, signaling what many believe could be the final chapter of Syria’s 13-year civil war.
Rebel forces stormed the city on Saturday, triggering celebrations across liberated areas. Thousands of political prisoners were reportedly freed, highlighting the regime’s crumbling grip. “This marks the collapse of tyranny and a new dawn for Syria,” declared a rebel spokesperson.
Assad, whose regime has faced accusations of war crimes, chemical attacks, and systemic human rights abuses, has been a central figure of international condemnation since the war’s outbreak in 2011 during the Arab Spring.
While Assad’s whereabouts remain unconfirmed, social media footage revealed jubilant crowds waving revolutionary flags and chanting for justice and rebuilding. Analysts suggest this moment could redefine Syria’s future as the nation begins to heal from years of devastation.
For millions of Syrians, this day marks a long-awaited turning point.
