ERTNews has become the first Greek channel to report from Damascus, capturing the celebrations of residents following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime after 53 years. Journalist Elvira Krithari described scenes of joy among the population and interactions with refugees attempting to cross from Lebanon into Syria. Despite witnessing signs of recent battles, the atmosphere was marked by a sense of hope as the opposition groups claimed power. Krithari noted a division among communities regarding their feelings toward the regime and the uncertain future of Syria.
