Syrians celebrate as rebel flags signal potential new national flag after Assad's ouster

Syrians celebrated in the streets after the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad, marking the end of his family's 50-year rule. Rebel flags replaced Assad's posters, signaling a potential shift towards a new national flag. The current Syrian flag, in use since 1980, may soon be replaced by the opposition flag, which features green, white, and black stripes with three red stars. This flag symbolizes the rebels' desire for freedom from the Assad regime. As the situation evolves, the Syrian Prime Minister expressed readiness to transfer power to a transitional government. Meanwhile, Assad has fled to Moscow, and key allies like Russia and Iran have withdrawn support, leaving a power vacuum in Syria.
