Syria celebrates first Friday prayer since fall of Bashar al-Assad regime

After the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in a lightning offensive by rebel forces, Syria is experiencing a historic moment. At Damascus' Umayyad Mosque, tens of thousands of people have gathered for the first Friday prayers since the country's liberation.

The iconic mosque in the Syrian capital has become a center of festive atmosphere, where citizens have gathered since early morning. After prayers, the crowd is expected to march towards the central square of Damascus, marking a moment of unity and joy for the Syrian people.

Celebrations are taking place across the country for the liberation from the regime, however, the joy is mixed with the pain of thousands of people who continue to search for their relatives, who disappeared in the infamous prisons of the previous regime.

This historic moment marks not only the end of a dark era, but also the beginning of a new chapter for Syria and its citizens.
