Rebel forces in Syria have declared Damascus “free,” claiming Bashar al-Assad has fled the capital, according to a statement on Sunday.
“We declare the city of Damascus free from the tyrant Bashar al-Assad,” the Military Operations Command wrote in a post on Telegram.
“To the displaced all over the world, a free Syria awaits you,” the statement added.
The rebels earlier claimed to have entered the capital and taken control of the notorious Saydnaya Military Prison north of Damascus.
