Syrians Reflect on Freedom and Challenges One Year After Assad's Ouster
In Damascus, Syrians are celebrating the first anniversary of their liberation from Bashar Assad's regime. The fall of Assad, following a rebel offensive, has led to a sense of freedom and hope among the population. Public celebrations are widespread, with people gathering in Umayyad Square and other locations to express their joy. Despite the festive atmosphere, Syrians face ongoing challenges, including economic hardships and the need for political stability. The new government, led by President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, is working to address these issues while fostering national unity. The international community, including the United States, has shown support, with President Trump easing some sanctions.
