Rebel forces in Syria have seized the capital, Damascus, effectively ending the Assad family's 50-year rule. Ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled to Moscow on November 8, 2024, according to Russian officials.
Assad, who became president at the age of 34, was initially viewed as a potential reformist capable of introducing democracy to the country. However, he ultimately followed in his fatherโs footsteps, entrenching an authoritarian regime.
