"In the early hours of Sunday morning, opposition forces declared Syria
liberated from the rule of President Bashar al-Assad as opposition forces
surged into the capital.

The former president in question reportedly fled Damascus, with no information
yet as to which country will receive him.

The stunning collapse of more than 53 years of al-Assad family rule has been
described as a historic moment – nearly 14 years after Syrians rose in peaceful
protests against a government that met them with violence that quickly
spiralled into a bloody civil war.

Just a week ago, the regime still maintained control over significant portions
of the country. So how did it all unravel so quickly?"
