Syrian Army informs officers of regime change – Reuters

RT

The Syrian Army command announced on Sunday that President Bashar Assad’s 24-year rule has come to an end, an  officer in the country’s armed forces has told Reuters. The announcement follows a rapid offensive by jihadist forces on the capital.

The jihadists claim that Damascus is “now free of Assad” and are expected to make their first public statement via state TV, Reuters reports, citing two anti-government sources.

In response to the political uncertainty, Prime Minister Mohammad al-Jalali stated that he is “ready to cooperate with any leadership chosen by the people,” as quoted by Al Jazeera. He added that he remains at home and is inclined to support the continuity of government.

Ahmed Al-Sharaa, a prominent commander for the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has issued orders prohibiting all militant forces in Damascus from approaching public institutions or firing weapons into the air. He went on to say that government institutions will remain under the supervision of the “former prime minister” until they are officially transferred to the new authorities.

Over the weekend, HTS fighters and other anti-government militias entered Damascus, effectively taking control of the capital. Flight tracking websites indicate that Assad’s plane has left the city.

  1. A sad day for the Syrian people, especially the shi’ites and Christians or those in a mixed marriage.

    The Israeli regime and the US must be overjoyed. We’ll have to wait to find out if things pan out as well as was hoped for the US and the west.
