Edmonton's Syrian community celebrates regime change and hopes for peace

The Syrian community in Edmonton is reacting with joy and hope following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. Over the weekend, they held a rally to unite for a safer future after years of civil war. Rebels seized control of Damascus, marking a significant shift in the conflict that began in 2011. Many Syrian Canadians, including those who fled oppression, expressed cautious optimism about the potential for a new era in Syria. As families await news from loved ones in detention facilities, the community remains hopeful for peace and rebuilding. Another rally is planned this weekend to support the Syrian community and their allies.
