In a surprising turn of events, German Syrians gathered in central Berlin to celebrate the removal of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. The jubilant crowd cheered and waved flags as news spread that rebel groups had successfully entered Damascus and claimed that Assad had fled the country.
The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) faction announced that the city was now “free of Assad” and heralded the “start of a new era” in Syria. Thousands of people congregated at a main square in the capital to rejoice in the apparent downfall of the Assad regime.
State TV broadcasted the rebels’ announcement of “the fall of the tyrant Bashar al-Assad” and the liberation of regime prisoners. They urged citizens to safeguard the “property of the free Syrian state”, marking a significant moment in the ongoing conflict in Syria.
The mood in Berlin was one of relief and celebration as German Syrians came together to mark what they hope is the beginning of positive change in their homeland. The atmosphere was filled with hope for a brighter future for Syria and its people.
This momentous occasion in Berlin serves as a reminder of the impact of the conflict in Syria on communities far beyond its borders. As the world watches these historic events unfold, there is a sense of optimism that a new chapter may be on the horizon for the war-torn nation.
