BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.
The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said President Bashar Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a remarkably swift advance across the country.
Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government.
It’s crazy so many governments went into limbo in the past weeks. Korea, Germany and Romania come to mind and now Syria as well. Wild.
France too
Apple and oranges. Syria is on a different scale.
Full blown military operation Vs two votes of no confidence and a cancelled election.
