Rebels escort Syrian Prime Minister from office as Assad regime collapses
Opposition fighters in Syria escorted Prime Minister Mohammad Jalali from his office to the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus on Sunday. This event marked a significant shift in power, signaling the end of over 50 years of Assad family rule. The move followed a swift offensive by armed opposition forces, who captured Damascus and stormed the presidential palace. Reports indicate that Bashar al-Assad fled the country during the chaos, with unconfirmed reports suggesting he may have gone to Iran or Russia. Celebrations erupted across Syria as citizens took to the streets to celebrate the regime's fall. Many waved flags and chanted slogans of freedom, expressing hope for a new chapter in the nation's history.
