Islamist-led rebels have declared the end of the Assad regime in Syria, with President Bashar al-Assad said to have fled the country after more five decades of rule by the Assad family. His departure comes less than a fortnight after the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group launched its campaign against Assad, while Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali said that he was ready to co-operate with "any leadership chosen by the Syrian people". The HST stated that that its fighters had broken into a jail on the outskirts of the Syrian capital of Damascus, announcing an "end of the era of tyranny in the prison of Sednaya", which has become synonymous with the worst abuses of the Assad regime. Assad is said to have fled to Russia.
