Syrian state television channel has broadcast a video statement of a group of people in which they are seen saying that President Bashar Assad has been ousted from power and all the prisoners in jail have been released.

Residents of the capital have heard sounds of gunfire and explosions. Iran's state television channel, which has been a main supporter of Assad during the war in Syria, reported that Assad had left the capital. The television channel cited Qatar's 'Al Jazeera News Network' for this information but did not give any detailed information.

Crowds of Syrians gathered in Damascus squares on Sunday morning to celebrate, chanting anti-Assad slogans and honking car horns. In some areas, bullets were also fired in celebration. Soldiers and police officers fled their posts and the rebels entered the Defense Ministry headquarters.

What did the local residents say?

“I can't express my feelings,” said lawyer Omar Daher, 29, a local resident. I cannot believe the fear in which he (Assad) and his father forced us to live for many years and the state of terror and terror in which I was living.'' Daher said that his father was given security. His brother was killed and detained by the forces and it is not known what happened to him. He said Assad was “a criminal, a dictator and an animal.” Ghazal al-Sharif, another man in central Damascus, said: “Shame on the president and the entire Assad family.”

Police headquarters appeared empty

An Associated Press (AP) journalist in Damascus said he saw groups of armed residents on the roadside on the outskirts of the capital and heard gunfire. The city's main police headquarters appeared to be empty, with its door open and no officers outside. Another AP journalist took footage of an abandoned army post in which uniforms were seen lying on the ground beneath Assad's poster. Sounds of “Allah-hu-Akbar” are being heard from the mosques. This is the first time since 2018 that rebels reached inside Damascus.
