Syrian rebel fighters entered Damascus on Sunday, overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad and marking a sudden end to a long-standing conflict. Rebel leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani declared a new era for Syria, promising a brighter future. The rebel coalition is now working on transferring power to a transitional governing body. Former Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali has called for free elections and is in discussions with Jolani about managing the transition.
