President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled the capital Damascus to an unknown destination, after rebel forces entered the city, meeting little resistance.
The insurgents have declared the city free from Assad’s rule that lasted for decades, less than two weeks after launching their lightning offensive. Citing senior military officials, Reuters reports that the Syrian army command has notified its officers of the fall of the regime. Syria’s Prime Minister Mohammed al- Jal-ali has announced he is ready to cooperate in a peaceful transfer of power with any new leadership chosen by the people.
