Syrian Opposition Claims Victory
In a significant turn of events, the Syrian armed opposition announced the fall of the regime led by deposed President Bashar al-Assad, with their forces reportedly entering the capital, Damascus. This development marks the culmination of a series of rapid victories achieved by the opposition in recent days. According to Al Jazeera's correspondent, Engineer Mohammed al-Bashir, the head of the Syrian Salvation Government, has been designated to form a new government to oversee the transitional phase in Syria. This shift in power dynamics could potentially alter the landscape of the Syrian conflict and influence future diplomatic efforts in the region.
