BEIRUT (AP) — The last time Syrian President Bashar Assad was in serious trouble was 10 years ago, at the height of the country’s civil war, when his forces lost control over parts of the largest city, Aleppo, and his opponents were closing in on the capital, Damascus. Back then, he was rescued by his chief international backer, Russia, and longtime regional ally Iran, which along with Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militia helped Assad's forces retake Aleppo, tipping the war firmly in his favor.

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said early Sunday that the government is ready to "extend its hand" to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government. "I am in my house and I have not left, and this is because of my belonging to this country," Jalili said in a video statement. He said he would go to his office to continue work in the morning and called on Syrian citizens not to deface public property.

BEIRUT — Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country Sunday, bringing to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto control as his country fragmented in a brutal civil war that became a proxy battlefield for regional and international powers. The exit of Assad, 59, stood in stark contrast to his first months as Syria's unlikely president in 2000, when many hoped he would be a young reformer after three decades of his father's iron grip.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Sunday that the sudden collapse of the Syrian government under Bashar Assad is a “fundamental act of justice” after decades of repression, but it was “a moment of risk and uncertainty” for the Mideast. Biden spoke at the White House hours after after rebel groups completed a takeover of the country following more than a dozen years of violent civil war and decades of leadership by Assad and his family.

RT @Mylovanov: My wife and I woke up in fear at 6 a.m. Loud explosions outside, and our bedroom lit up like it was noon. Ballistic missiles…

The missiles flew fast and low to the ground and sounded like bombs exploding. “It was scary, actually,” said a 28 year old on his way to work. “I raised my head and it was flying there, you could see this cruise missile." #Kyiv https://t.co/ijbeHFzkjz
