LIVE: Syrians in Damascus celebrate the end of Bashar al-Assad’s rule

From Reuters.

Syrians celebrate in Damascus’ central Umayyad Square after Syrian rebel groups ousted longtime President Bashar al-Assad over the weekend. Assad fled to Russia after a 13-year civil war and more than five decades of his family’s autocratic rule, during which Syria ran one of the most oppressive police states in the Middle East.
