The United States has pledged support for Syria and its neighbors following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces. President Joe Biden, speaking from the White House, called this a pivotal moment for the region, marking the end of 13 years of civil war and over half a century of authoritarian rule under Assad and his father.
“After 13 years of civil war in Syria, more than half a century of authoritarian rule by Bashar al-Assad and his father before him, rebel forces have forced Assad to resign his office and flee the country. We’re not sure where he is but aware that he is in Moscow. At long last, the Assad regime has fallen,” said Joe Biden, U.S. President.
Biden stated, emphasizing the need to manage risks while seizing new opportunities. He confirmed reports that Assad has fled to Moscow and called for him to be held accountable for his actions.
“We will engage with all Syrian groups, including within the process led by the United Nations to establish a transition away from the Assad regime. Toward independent sovereign, an independent - independent - I want to say it again - sovereign Syria with a new constitution, with a new government that serves all Syrians. This process will be determined by the Syrian people themselves. And the United States will do whatever we can to support them, including through humanitarian relief to help restore Syria after a decade of war and generational brutality by the Assad family. And finally, we will remain vigilant. Make no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses. We’ve taken note of statements by the leaders of these rebel groups in recent days, and they’re saying the right things now. But as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words but their actions..." he said.
Bashar al-Assad's regime collapsed in a swift rebel offensive that began two weeks ago with the capture of Aleppo. Opposition forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), advanced rapidly. Hama and Homs fell within days, and Damascus was seized on Sunday, forcing Assad to flee, reportedly to Moscow.
