Syria Is Free: Celebrations Have Erupted After Rebels Liberated The Country From The Al-Assad Regime

After rebels declared they had freed Syria and president Bashar al-Assad fled the country, Syrians around the country and all over the world are celebrating Syria’s liberation and the end of 13 years of civil war.

Videos on social media showed Syrians in different cities celebrating the downfall of al-Assad and his regime.

Crowds filled the streets of Damascus and other cities, chanting "God is great" and anti-Assad slogans.

On Nov. 27, rebel forces regrouped and launched a surprise offensive led by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), advancing in government-held areas and seized most of Aleppo, the second-largest city in Syria, in just three days.

After taking over Aleppo, rebel forces advanced into Homs city on Dec. 7, then in the early hours of Dec. 8, they announced they had captured Damascus, Syria’s capital, and overthrown al-Assad.

Al-Assad has since fled Syria and landed in Moscow, where he will be granted seek asylum, according to Russian state media.

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali said he remains in his residence and is willing to collaborate with opposition forces while stressing the need to maintain public institutions.
