The Syrian government fell early on December 8 in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family. Islamist-led rebels declared that they have taken Damascus after sweeping through other parts of the country.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country. People in Hama and Damascus destroyed statues of the Assan family.

Meanwhile, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali said that he remained in his home and was ready to support continuity of governance.
