At the dawn of this Sunday, December 8, 2024, the Syrian opposition armed entered the capital Damascus, while confirmed media reports evoke the flight of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to an unknown destination.
Indeed, rebel groups announced on Sunday in a speech on Syrian public television the fall of the “tyrant” Bashar al-Assad, ensuring having released all the prisoners “unjustly” detained, calling citizens and combatants to preserve the properties of the State.
It was only enough for the rebels led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Cham group to enter Damascus and reach the flight of President Bashar al-Assad.
The Prime Minister said he was ready on Sunday to cooperate with the “leadership” that the people will choose and to any procedure of “passing” of power.
The fall of the Syrian regime with such speed is explained by an extremely complex geopolitical chessboard and especially by the position of the allies of the regime in question like Russia and Iran which did not support al-Assad.
The commander-in-chief of the Syrian democratic forces, a coalition mainly made up of Kurdish fighters, described as “historic” the moment experienced by the Syrians with the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, described as a “dictator” in power for almost 25 years.
Syrian President Bashar has for almost a quarter of a century led Syria with an iron fist, repressing a rebellion that turned into a civil war, one of the most brutal of the 21st century.
