Syrian rebels announce 'new era' after 'tyrant' Bashar al-Assad 'fled'

Syrian rebels said Sunday that President Bashar al-Assad had fled the country, calling on citizens abroad to return to a "free Syria" and saying that Damascus was free of the "tyrant."

"The tyrant Bashar al-Assad has fled," and "we declare the city of Damascus free," the rebel factions said on Telegram, adding that "after 50 years of oppression under Baath rule, and 13 years of crimes and tyranny and (forced) displacement... we announce today the end of this dark period and the start of a new era for Syria".
