Syrian prime minister agrees to transfer power to rebel-led government after Assad's ousting

Ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's prime minister has agreed to transfer power to the rebel-led Salvation Government after rebels captured Damascus. This marks a significant shift following 13 years of civil war and Assad's long rule. The handover could take days, with the transitional authority expected to be led by Mohamed al-Bashir. Banks in Syria will reopen on Tuesday, and employees in various ministries have been called back to work, although many offices remain looted and abandoned. The fall of Assad ends a major chapter in the Syrian conflict, which has resulted in widespread devastation and a massive refugee crisis. The new leadership aims to rebuild the country and has announced an amnesty for soldiers drafted under Assad.
