“Beneath the rubble of destroyed camps and broken homes, the lifeless bodies of their inhabitants do not lie alone; the belief in rights, freedoms, and the values of human civilization—ideals long championed by the West—now lie buried alongside them.”
— Mohamed Kheir, Egyptian writer and poet

Syrians have the right to celebrate the fall of the House of Assad without being lectured by non-Syrians about the reality of their future.

Maybe some of you need a reminder, but Assad wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill dictator. Not only did he run a police state of a frightening degree, but he also burned down his country to stay in power, destroying entire cities and killing hundreds of thousands of Syrians to keep his regime in place.

Let people who have had family members murdered, tortured, and imprisoned by the state have a moment of relief and celebration.

It doesn’t mean they’re naive about Syria’s future.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Assad has fled. A humiliated tyrant who made the honored Syrian people into a global refugee story while murdering hundreds of thousands at home.

Today your joy is our joy oh Syria. May Allah give you just rule and prosperity in the days ahead.

And may every tyrant fall. Ameen

@Skander_T_ و على الخاطر اللي تعداو علينا قبلوا طلعوا الشكارة و البحر، ملزوم علينا نرضاو بالهم و نرجعوا للاستبداد؟ علاش؟ بلادنا تستاهل خير من هكه، خير من اللي تعداو علينا و خاصة خير من اللي يصول و يجول و يحكم توه..
