Crowds in Syria have been celebrating the end of five decades of dynastic rule following the fall of the dictator Bashar al-Assad who has fled to Moscow.
People waved the Syrian revolutionary flag and pulled down statues and portraits of the president and his father, Hafez. Families have been reunited with loved ones long lost to the dark of the regime’s notorious prison system .
We would like to hear from Syrians living across the world and what the fall of Assad means to them. How have you, your friends and family been affected by the regime change? If you are a refugee are you planning to return? We’re also interested in hearing from those living in Syria and their experience.
