Syrian anti-government forces announced early on Sunday morning that they had advanced into Damascus, Syria's capital. In a post on social media, rebel commander Hassan Abdul-Ghani said: "We declare Damascus free from the tyrant Bashar al-Assad."
In a press briefing on Sunday, President Joe Biden called the fall of Assad's government "a fundamental act of justice" and "a moment of opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their proud country."
Hassan Akkad, who fled Syria in 2015 and is now based in the UK, posted to X, "Syria is free. Syria is free. Syria is free. Syria is free. Syria is free. Syria is free. Syria is free."
President-elect Donald Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday that Assad had "fled his country" after losing Russia's support. 'Assad is gone,' Trump wrote.
