Syrian community in Australia celebrates overthrow of Assad regime

The Syrian community in Australia is celebrating the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime by rebel forces. Many, including refugee Sophie Bejek, expressed shock at the rapid change and hope for a safer future in Syria after years of civil war. Celebrations erupted in areas like Greenacre, with fireworks marking the occasion. While there is relief over the regime's fall, concerns remain about the new leadership under Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani and the potential for chaos during the transition. Community members like Dr. Said Ajlouni feel optimistic about rebuilding Syria. Some refugees may consider returning, but safety remains a concern. Bejek hopes to visit Aleppo again when it is safe.
