Syrians in Saskatchewan express cautious optimism after Assad's regime falls

Syrians in Saskatchewan are reacting with cautious optimism to the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. Many, like refugee Ali Kharsa, express happiness after years of waiting for this moment, but uncertainty remains about Syria's future. Rebel forces took control of Damascus on December 7, leading to Assad's reported flight to Moscow. This marks a significant shift after over 13 years of civil war, which displaced more than six million Syrians. Syrian-Canadian community members, including cafe owner Noor Mitri, hope for unity and progress in Syria. Various groups are now competing for power, with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham being the most prominent. Canada has welcomed the regime's end.
