New era in Syria as Bashar al-Assad is toppled by rebels
![]() President Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s autocratic ruler, was ousted Sunday after a quarter century in power, toppled after an Islamist rebel offensive that hurtled through Syrian cities and towns, and finally Damascus, the capital and once-feared seat of Assad’s power, which fell with little sign of a fight. The Syrian leader, the scion of a family that ruled Syria for more than half a century, vanished in silence Sunday, abandoned by allies and friends. It fell to Russia, Assad’s longtime military benefactor, to announce his resignation and flight from Syria. Assad went to Moscow, Russia’s state news agency said. |
