Two senior Syrian army officers have said President Bashar al Assad has left Damascus to an unknown destination, according to the Reuters news agency. The officers added that Assad had left the capital after boarding a plane.
There has been no immediate official statement from the Syrian government. The sound of intense gunfire has been heard in the centre of the Syrian capital Damascus, two residents have told Reuters. The contacts said the source of the shooting or its exact origin was not immediately clear. The two residents live in a residential area close to the centre of the capital. Syrian rebels said earlier they had reached the suburbs of Damascus in their plot to oust the president of Syria. The specific suburbs where the insurgents were said to be active were Maadamiyah, Jaramana and Daraya, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

So it's over?
 
Was Assad a good person? Not really, he was pretty shitty to his people and he was a Kremlin puppet meant for Putin to expand his influence on the world.

Do I think Assad's replacements are going to be any batter? A part of me hopes that is the case but the realist in me says that Syria is likely going to have another dictator now that there is a power vacuum present.

Good luck to the Syrians, they're really going to need it.

Democracy as we understand it is not indigenous to the Middle East. Yeah you have Israel but even here, it's been slipping because of the Gaza War.
