The Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Shams (HTS) has declared the country "liberated" after dictator President Bashar al-Assad fled the capital, Damascus.
"Dictator Bashar al-Assad has fled. This marks the end of a dark era and the beginning of a new one," HTS said in a Telegram post on Sunday morning.
The Bashar al-Assad rebel group has fled Syria, announcing that "Syrians displaced or imprisoned during the Assad government's half-century rule can now return home."
"This will be a 'new Syria', where everyone lives in peace and justice prevails," HTS said.
The rebels began celebrating after hearing the news of Bashar al-Assad's escape. Earlier, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled by plane early Sunday morning.
After capturing the city of Homs, he flew to an unknown destination by plane as the rebels began to enter the capital Damascus.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a war monitor, said a private plane, believed to be carrying Bashar al-Assad, took off from Damascus airport after being greeted by government forces at the airport.
Media reports indicate that there has been no violence since the city of Homs was taken over.
