Syrians celebrate in streets as rebels advance in Damascus ending Assad family's rule

Syrians celebrated in the streets of Damascus on Sunday after rebels advanced into the capital, ending the Assad family's 50-year rule. Crowds waved revolutionary flags and fired guns in the air, recalling the early days of the Arab Spring. President Bashar Assad's whereabouts are unknown, with reports suggesting he fled the country. Rebel groups, led by Abu Mohammed al-Golani, announced a curfew and claimed to have freed prisoners from notorious facilities, including Saydnaya prison. The situation has raised concerns about Syria's future, as various factions vie for power. Iran, a key ally of Assad, stated that Syrians should determine their own future without foreign interference.
