Syrian President Assad Flees Damascus As Jihadis Takeover Country’s Capital, Christians and Religious Minorities Face Slaughter

There are no good guys in this fight. The ISIS and al Qaeda takeover bodes most ill. Christians and religious minorities face genocide. Sharia, the most system of governance on the face of the earth, will be imposed.

“The international media has been trying to portray these “rebels” as plucky freedom fighters against the tyrant Assad, but actually they’re Islamic jihadis who will impose Sharia and make life miserable for the remaining Christians of Syria.” (Robert Spencer)

The Islamist group HTS has officially taken over Syria.

Earlier today, they announced Sharia law will soon be implemented.

Christian families have also been told that they might “search their homes” in the next days.

This man is now the defacto leader of Syria after his jihadist group led the topping of the Assad dictatorship. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has committed mass human atrocities and was co-founded by the former leader of ISIS as the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda. https://t.co/FJIkB5Dggl

The Turks and ISIS types in Syria are seizing the opportunity before Trump assumes the presidency. If Assad is toppled, get ready for massacres of Christians, Yezidis, Kurds, Assyrians and others across Syria. Genocide is imminent. We will shortly be dealing with a new caliphate. pic.twitter.com/uNVjUo7fE5

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad flees Damascus as rebels move into country’s capital

By Patrick Reilly, NY Post, Dec. 7, 2024:

The nearly quarter-century rule of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad came to a stunning end, when he fled the country by plane for an unknown destination as rebel troops stormed into the capital city of Damascus with little resistance, reports said Saturday.

Thousands of people rushed to the city’s main square waving and chanting “freedom” as rebels breached the city gates on Sunday, local time, and Assad’s army fled from the streets, witnesses said.

Assad, who has ruled the country with an iron fist for 24 years, boarded a plane and left Damascus for parts unknown, two senior army officers told Reuters.

Residents reported gunshots and explosions as they entered the city — but rebels said they saw no signs of the government deploying any of its troops to fight back.

Rebels, some of whom have links to Al-Quaeda, quickly took over control of state media offices in Damascus, “to broadcast the victory announcement over Assad,” the rebels said in a statement, CNN reported.

The fall of Damascus comes as the city of Homs, a major crossroads connecting the capitol to government strongholds on the coast, fell to the rebels late Saturday after less than 24 hours of fighting.

After government troops fled the city, thousands of residents started dancing and chanting “Assad is gone, Homs is free” and “Long live Syria and down with Bashar al-Assad.”

Once Homs was in rebel control, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the al-Quada affiliate Tahrir al-Sham, said that rebels were poised to take the whole country, promising “the end of the criminal regime is near.”

As the rebel troops marched towards the capital, Damascus’ center as lines piled up at ATMs and shops began running out of basic commodities and shutting down.

The entire region was on edge as neighboring Jordan and Lebanon reportedly shut down their borders with Syria.

The advance furthered rebels’ rapid-fire seizure of major cities across southern Syria, which began with the surprise collapse of Aleppo just days ago.
