Assad Regime Falls: Syrian Rebels Tear Down Bashar al-Assad Statue in Damascus (Watch Video)

In a symbolic act marking the end of a 53-year dynastic rule, rebels tore down a statue of Bashar al-Assad amidst celebratory crowds in Damascus on December 8. This comes hours after Assad fled Syria following the overthrow of his regime. The 53-year grip on power began with Hafez al-Assad's rise in 1970, sustained by authoritarian rule, and has now crumbled under pressure from rebel forces. Jubilant crowds gathered as the statue, a symbol of his rule, was brought down. Assad Regime Falls: Rebels Storm Iran’s Embassy in Damascus, Tear Down Qassem Soleimani and Hassan Nasrallah Posters (Watch Video).
