How did the Assad regime fall to rebel forces in Syria?

A rapid offensive by anti-regime forces in Syria has ended President Bashar al Assad's 24-year rule in the country.

Russian state media say the Syrian president is now in Moscow after his family was "granted asylum" after fleeing the country as rebel forces took control of Damascus.

Sky News' Laura Bundock looks at how Assad's regime fell so quickly.

Allepo: "Syria's second city".. Are u telling me there are only 2 cities in Syria? Do u mean Syria's second largest city?

[kidcoma]

That still doesn't explain why they weren't met with any significant counterforces. It seems like some decisions and agreements were made behind the curtain.

The Syrian rebels owe Israel for weakening Iran and Hezbollah. I watched a video of a Syrian rebel thanking Israel for undermining Iran. The rebels also owe Ukraine for providing intelligence. Russia has lost access to the Tartus naval port which gave them access to the Mediterranean and the ability to supply their mercenaries in Africa.

In november 2000, with my father Borislav, we were to see Slobodan Milošević in his residance, and in the House s garden there were Two military vehicules, not tanks, but steel military vehicules with weapons cannons on them, at the entrance to towards that house residance where Slobodan Milošević was then living in ( villa Mir )

Later, Slobodan Milošević would say, that, Vojislav Koštunica came to see him to tell him that the Federal Court DECIDED there would be NO second round in the september 24 th election, no run off, the court rulled, said Koštunica that he had won in the first round 😭

Lets see those tourist that went to syria what they say!

[JuliaHartshorn]

And there was no opposition to all this city taking then?
Are these new people who have sieved power the people the Syrian people want then? All these relieved and celebrating expats - is it too soon to establish how the new regime is going to affect their lives?
I hope it is for their good and not more oppression . 🤞

[混元手霹雳]

How are the Syrian people doing now that Assad has fallen?Have we achieved democracy and freedom?

[HawRekem]

This is the End of Putin and Iranian Regime too...!

Britain's Syrian community are very happy that they can now return to Syria to reshape a more moderate country. In the meantime there are calls for all people travelling from Syria should not be allowed into the UK including released isis troops from the Syrian jails.

The home office and home secretary should now asap immediately with drawl and cancel passports from terrorist or regime Syria travellers fleeing Syria. This will mean termination of passports for the former Syrian leader's wife on grounds of national security. All travellers will be DNA tested and claims in UK courts for asylum from Syria will be reversed or terminated asap.

The Syrians returning to their country will release some 150000 houses for homeless UK citizens who are freezing on the streets this Christmas.

Russien minister of foreign affaires Igor Ivanov came to Belgrade on friday october 6 th, Russia, the LAST ally to us, the Millossevicks ', and, after meeting Slobodan Milošević, our uncle, Igor Ivanov CONGRATULATED Vojislav Koštunica, so, uncle Slobodan Milošević had no choice but to say later on tv : i m quiting, leaving .... 😭
