Syrian Rebels Push into Damascus, Seize Control of Homs 🎉
In a dramatic turn of events, Syrian rebels announced on Sunday that they have begun entering the capital city of Damascus with no visible resistance from the army. This bold move comes after they claimed full control of the key city of Homs following just one day of intense fighting.
\"We celebrate with the Syrian people the news of freeing our prisoners, releasing their chains, and announcing the end of the era of injustice in Sednaya prison,\" rebel leaders declared. The Sednaya prison, located on the outskirts of Damascus, has long been notorious for detaining thousands of people under the government's watch.
The capture of Homs, often referred to as the \"Capital of the Revolution,\" marks a significant blow to President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule. With the insurgents now marching on Damascus, many believe that the regime is hanging by a thread.
The swift advancements by the rebels have ignited hope among Syrians craving change. Streets are filled with celebrations as people anticipate the dawn of a new era. \"It's like watching history unfold before our eyes! 🙌\" exclaimed a young resident.
This unfolding story has captured global attention, highlighting the resilience and determination of the Syrian people in their quest for freedom and justice.
