Bashar al-Assad's regime falls as rebels declare victory in Syria

Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has been overthrown after more than 50 years of rule. Rebel fighters declared Damascus "liberated" on Sunday, leading to Assad's flight to Russia. This marks a significant shift after years of civil war and unrest. A new coalition of rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, quickly captured major cities, including Aleppo and Homs. The coalition aims to establish a government representing all sects, despite concerns over the legacy of extremist groups in the region. The fall of Assad's regime has raised questions about Syria's future governance and stability. While many Syrians celebrate, there are uncertainties about potential sectarian conflicts and the involvement of regional powers in the aftermath.
