Thousands of Syrians filled the streets of Damascus and other cities to celebrate the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. In Umayyad Square, people sang, waved opposition flags, and chanted revolutionary slogans. Rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa called it a victory for the "blessed revolution." While many celebrated, families searched for missing loved ones at a Damascus mortuary. Bodies transferred from the infamous Saydnaya prison showed signs of torture and malnourishment. Key regime buildings, including torture cells and intelligence offices, revealed evidence of decades of oppression. Syrians now hope to rebuild their nation "hand-in-hand" in freedom.
