According to the report, Jubilant Syrian opposition supporters waved flags, danced, and hugged each other on the streets of Sydney's western suburbs on Sunday (December 8), as news spread that Bashar al-Assad had fled the country.

The report said that supporters of the Syrian rebels lit fireworks, danced, and rode horses in celebration as Islamist rebels declared they had ousted Assad after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, ending the decades-long autocratic rule of his family, and after more than 13 years of civil war.

The report also said that the lightning advance of a militia alliance spearheaded by Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former al-Qaeda affiliate, marked one of the biggest turning points for the Middle East in generations. Assad's fall wiped out a bastion from which Iran and Russia exercised influence across the Arab world.

The report added that Assad is in Moscow with his family after Russia granted them asylum on humanitarian grounds, a Kremlin source told Russian news agencies on Sunday, and a deal has been made to ensure the safety of Russian military bases.

They may have celebrated for now, but they must be prepared the future conflicts, not from the outside, but from within their countrymen. For now, they have to enjoy the moment.
