Here in the Bay Area, there’s celebration and hope in the Syrian community after the fall of the Assad regime. Dozens of people rallied a short time ago in San Francisco to raise their voices to support a new beginning for their home country.
There was joy and celebration in San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza Sunday.
« We didn’t not expect something so quick and swift across the country », said Syrian immigrant Bahjit Basmaji.
