Syria civil war: President Bashar al-Assad flees as Damascus falls to rebels, here's what we know so far

In a shocking development, Syrian rebel forces appeared on state television to announce the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, declaring the capital city of Damascus captured. The Islamist-led rebels, in a lightning offensive, revealed that they had toppled the "tyrant" Assad and liberated prisoners from the Syrian government’s notorious detention facilities. This marks the end of five decades of Baathist rule in Syria. Rebel spokespersons called on Syrians, both within the country and abroad, to unite in rebuilding a free Syria, urging the protection of public state property. Celebrations erupted as rebels claimed complete control of the capital, sending shockwaves through the region and leaving the fate of Assad uncertain. #SyriaRebels #AssadFall #DamascusCaptured #SyriaRevolution #AssadToppled #FreeSyria #SyrianRebels #DamascusLiberation #SyriaConflict #EndOfBaathRule #FatehDimashk #SyrianVictory #AssadFlees #SyrianUprising #SyrianFreedom Also Read From Al-Qaeda To Syria’s Most Powerful Rebel Group HTS, Who Is Abu Mohammed al-Julani? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-al-qaeda-to-syria-s-most-powerful-rebel-group-hts-who-is-abu-mohammed-al-julani-4009585.html Syrian President Assad Flees Damascus As Rebel Forces Seize Capital, Marks Collapse Of Regime Stronghold :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrian-president-assad-flees-damascus-as-rebel-forces-seize-capital-marks-collapse-of-regime-strong-4009445.html Opposition Fighters Approach Damascus: Understanding the Current Crisis in Syria's Civil War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/opposition-fighters-close-in-on-damascus-capital-011-4009409.html ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~
