The Syrian armed opposition has said the end of al-Assad’s rule marks a new chapter in Syria’s history.
“After 50 years of oppression under Baathist rule and 13 years of criminality, tyranny and displacement, and after a long struggle, confronting all sorts of occupation forces, we declare today, December 8, 2024, the end of that dark era and the start of a new era for Syria,” the rebels said in a statement on Sunday.
The opposition hailed the purported fall of the Syrian regime as a “moment of freedom after decades of pain and suffering”.
“To Syrians abroad all over the world, Syria awaits you,” the armed opposition urged in their statement.
