How are they still called rebels if there’s no government to rebel against? They are now Syria’s de facto management
Just like Eastern European countries that are pulling down statues of Soviet oppression, the Syrians are justified in destroying symbols of the monsters that presided over them for the past 50 years.
24 years after his death, Hafez gets the funeral he always deserved.
“Tomb it may concern:”
Haha, love the irony here. The Assad fascists used the popular slogan “Assad or we burn the country” during the civil war, before they were recently deposed.
Well look who’s burning now.
Imagine westerners supporting muslim jihadi terrorists over a secular regime they even shed a tear about the people in Assad’s prisons lol. Power of the media is insane.
Geez I thought it was AI generated for a second.

>Bashir chaired a meeting in Damascus on Tuesday attended by members of his new government and those of Assad’s former cabinet to discuss the transfer of portfolios and institutions.
Lmaooo good. Hopefully some of these brave rebels took a nice piss on top before they lit it up 🫡
What a respectful group, cremating their former dictator
Awesome. Do Fidel next.
Honestly these guys seem substantially worse than Assad.
Here’s wondering if Russia will trade Bashar and his family for their naval base…
So his family plundered the wealth of the country for decades, and had money for armed guards of the tomb but this guy had only a cheap wooden coffin? (not even oiled wood, judging by the white smoke)
Why not a stone sarcophagus like a real ruler?
Damn that is cold. And a war crime. I expect university students will be protesting this
He had a big press they would out you in and crush you to death. I can’t get my head around it and I saw a picture of it
After all of those years in hell, these flames were easy for him
