Syrians face uncertain future as Assad flees to Russia after rebels seize Damascus

Syrians are experiencing a new chapter after President Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia as rebels took control of Damascus. This marks a significant shift following 13 years of civil war and over 50 years of Assad family rule. The rebel coalition, led by Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham, is now tasked with rebuilding the war-torn country. The fall of Assad's regime has diminished Iranian and Russian influence in the region, raising hopes for the return of millions of refugees. Celebrations erupted among the Syrian diaspora worldwide, while the situation remains tense. Israel has imposed a curfew in the Golan Heights, citing security concerns amid the upheaval in Syria.
