The regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has fallen. On November 27, a rebel coalition led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) launched a rapid-fire offensive against Assad’s forces. Barely a week later, Aleppo and Hama — Syria’s second and third largest cities respectively — were under rebel control. Emboldened by these successes, Syrian opposition forces carried out offensive operations targeting Homs and came knocking on the outskirts of Damascus, dreaming of regime change.
By the time he fled the country, ending a 24-year rule that veered from optimism to brutal repression and death, Assad was facing a revolt on three fronts. There was the HTS advance from the north, via Homs; an uprising in the east, where a US-backed alliance led by Syrian Kurdish fighters seized the city of Deir el-Zor; and in the south, where rebels said they seized control of the southern city of Daraa on Saturday.
Trudeau’s Syrians should now head home as well …
This is Dortmund, Germany.
One million Syrian refugees came to the country in 2015 to escape Assad.
As of today, they are no longer refugees. Assad is gone. They can now all move back to Syria and take part in this new government.
