Syria’s capital woke up on Sunday to chanting, cheering and gunfire in celebration of the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, after rebels said they entered the city and toppled the long-time ruler.
“I can’t believe I’m living this moment,” tearful Damascus resident Amer Batha told journalists by phone from the capital’s Ummayad Square, where witnesses said dozens of people had gathered to celebrate.
