Syrians in Greater Toronto Area celebrate end of Assad's 50-year rule

Syrians in the Greater Toronto Area are celebrating the end of Bashar Assad's 50-year rule after armed factions took control of Syria. Many, like Amir Fattal, express hope for a free and democratic future in their home country. In Mississauga, crowds gathered to rejoice, with individuals like Houssam Harwash sharing their dreams of change after years of violence. The mood reflects a newfound optimism among those who fled the regime. The leader of Syria's largest rebel faction, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, is now positioned to influence the country's future. His group, while considered a terrorist organization by some, has expressed a commitment to pluralism and tolerance.
