After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, the world was moved by emotional scenes of liberation — families reuniting after years of separation and former prisoners walking free from the brutal conditions of Assad’s prisons. These moments of joy mirrored similar scenes from the fall of past regimes in the region, such as the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and Omar al-Bashir in Sudan.

Jatuhnya ibu kota Suriah, Damaskus, yang cepat dan tak terduga ke tangan pasukan oposisi Sunni menandai momen penting dalam sejarah modern Timur Tengah.

Ini menjadi akhir dari setengah abad kekuasaan keluarga Assad.
