YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Syrian government has fallen after a lightning offensive by anti-regime forces across the country - ending President Bashar al Assad's 24-year rule.

Mr Assad has left office and the country after giving orders for there to be a peaceful transfer of power, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

It did not say where he was, but said Russia had not been involved in the talks surrounding his departure.
