"After this great victory, all of Aleppo has gathered, from the eastern side of the city, the western side, the southern side, from different provinces of Syria, and thank God we are celebrating this great victory. After 13-14 years of oppression and humiliation caused by the rule of the tyrant Assad, God willing we’re all standing now hand in hand, free men and rebels, from all religions, thanks to God."
3. Various of celebrations
STORYLINE:
There were joyous scenes on the streets of Aleppo late Friday as earlier in the day, exuberant Syrians observed the first Friday prayers since the ousting of President Bashar Assad.
There were also mass gatherings in Aleppo and the capital, Damascus.
The newly installed interim prime minister delivered the sermon at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, declaring that a new era of “freedom, dignity and justice” was dawning for Syria.
The gatherings illustrated the dramatic changes that have swept over Syria less than a week after insurgents marched into Damascus and toppled Assad.
Amid the jubilation, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with allies around the region and called for an “inclusive and non-sectarian” interim government.
