Diplomatic Talks in Jordan Following Bashar al-Assad’s Ouster Amid Nationwide Celebrations in Syria
Jordan will host a meeting of US, EU, Turkish, and Arab diplomats to discuss Syria, one day after celebratory events marked the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. Syrian citizens celebrated the regime’s end, with demonstrations erupting across the country. The Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham led the offensive against Assad, who fled following a sweeping rebel campaign. As celebrations continued, attention shifted to uncovering the fate of those missing under Assad’s rule, while the international community looks to engage with new Syrian leaders.
