Syrians in Sydney celebrate fall of Bashar al-Assad | ABS-CBN News

Описание: Jubilant Syrian opposition supporters waved flags, danced and hugged each other on the streets of Sydney's western suburbs on Sunday (December 8), as news spread that Bashar al-Assad had fled the country.
Supporters of the Syrian rebels lit fireworks, danced and rode horses in celebration as Islamist rebels declared they had ousted Assad after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, ending the decades-long autocratic rule of his family, and after more than 13 years of civil war.
The lightning advance of a militia alliance spearheaded by Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former al-Qaeda affiliate, marked one of the biggest turning points for the Middle East in generations. Assad's fall wiped out a bastion from which Iran and Russia exercised influence across the Arab world.
Assad is in Moscow with his family after Russia granted them asylum on humanitarian grounds, a Kremlin source told Russian news agencies on Sunday, and a deal has been done to ensure the safety of Russian military bases.
