Rebel forces in Syria captured the capital Damascus and toppled the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning-quick advance across the country.
As Assad resigned and fled Syria, rebel forces moved into Damascus as citizens celebrated there and in the streets of Aleppo, where the rebel offensive began 11 days ago.
Bashar al-Assad and his family are now in Moscow, Russian state-owned news agency TASS is reporting, citing a source in the Kremlin.
President Biden gave remarks Sunday on the situation in Syria, saying from the White House that “at long last, the Assad regime has fallen.”
Biden called it a “fundamental act of justice” and a “historic opportunity,” acknowledging there is also “risk and uncertainty.”
