Bashar al-Assad's regime collapses after swift rebel offensive in Syria

Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has collapsed after a swift offensive by rebel forces, ending a brutal rule marked by widespread violence and war crimes. The regime, responsible for over 617,000 deaths, fell within ten days amid a long-standing civil war. The recent uprising, led by various anti-government groups, reflects years of suffering and resistance against Assad's oppressive rule. The fall of Assad marks a significant shift in the conflict, which has drawn in multiple foreign powers and caused millions to flee their homes. As the country faces a new chapter, thousands of political prisoners are being released, and symbols of Assad's regime are being dismantled. The future of Syria remains uncertain, with diverse factions vying for influence in the post-Assad landscape.
