Moskau, Russland - Bashar al-Assad, the fallen President of Syria, found asylum in Russia after his loss of power in a dramatic political upheaval. The Russian news agency TASS reported that Assad has arrived in Moscow with his family. A spokesman for the Kremlin confirmed that Russia granted him and his family asylum for humanitarian reasons. This development followed immediately after taking the Syrian capital Damascus by rebels that announced the end of the Assad regime. Before confirming Assad's arrival, there was wild speculation about a possible fatal aircraft crash of the ex-president.

The situation also has an impact on the perception of the political landscape in Syria. While rebellious forces declare the Sednaya military prison, known for the detention of political prisoners, as liberated, Kurdish militias are optimistic about future political renewal. Mazloum Abdi, commander of the Syrian democratic forces (SDF), emphasized the opportunity for democratic Syria and compliance with human rights for all citizens. In the currently unclear situation, the once magnificent palace of president in Damascus attracts many visitors who take pictures and take souvenirs with them, while many celebrate the end of the Assad era.
