Thousands in cars and on foot congregated at a main square in Damascus waving and chanting
AMMAN/BEIRUT – Syria 's army command has notified officers that President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year authoritarian rule has ended, a Syria n officer who was informed of the move told Reuters, following a rapid rebel offensive that took the world by surprise.Earlier the leader who crushed all forms of dissent flew out of Damascus for an unknown destination on Sunday, two senior army officers told Reuters, as rebel s said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments.
Sednaya is a large military prison on the outskirts Damascus where the Syrian government detained thousands. As Syrians expressed joy, Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali said he is ready to support the continuity of governance and is prepared to cooperate with any leadership chosen by the Syrian people.
Thousands of Homs residents poured onto the streets after the army withdrew from the central city, dancing and chanting "Assad is gone, Homs is free" and "Long live Syria and down with Bashar al-Assad". In rural areas southwest of the capital, local youths and former rebels took advantage of the loss of authority to come to the streets in acts of defiance against the Assad family's authoritarian rule.
Homs' capture is also a powerful symbol of the rebel movement's dramatic comeback in the 13-year-old conflict. Swathes of Homs were destroyed by gruelling siege warfare between the rebels and the army years ago. The fighting ground down the insurgents, who were forced out. Residents of numerous Damascus districts turned out to protest Assad on Saturday evening, and security forces were either unwilling or unable to clamp down.
