Exciting Changes in Syria After Regime Change!
It’s been three days since Syrian rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad. The rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), stormed Damascus and took control on Sunday, ending more than 50 years of Assad family rule.
United Nations leader Antonio Guterres spoke about new hopes for Syria and said, “We see signs of hope, especially with the end of the dictatorship.”
In a surprising turn of events, the tomb of Hafez al-Assad, Bashar’s father, was burned down by rebels in his hometown of Qardaha. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that parts of the mausoleum were damaged, and the tomb was destroyed.
After a swift military campaign, rebels captured key cities and forced Assad to flee. Now, Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali announced that the government is ready to work with opposition and hand over power. HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Golani made it clear that there will be no forgiveness for those who harmed people during Assad’s rule.
Bashar al-Assad has fled to Russia with his family. Meanwhile, the US is actively trying to help stabilize the situation in Syria with a ceasefire agreement between Kurdish forces and Turkish-backed rebels.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken plans to visit the Middle East to talk about the ongoing situation and support a new, fair government for Syria.
