Part 2/9:
As the dust begins to settle, normal life is set to resume in Damascus, with banks reopening and public transport expected to function normally again. The Syrian interim government has been formed under Al-Jolani's leadership, which includes the appointment of a new prime minister and a cabinet intended to facilitate the resumption of public services.
Joyful scenes were witnessed throughout the capital as Syrians came together to celebrate their newfound freedom, with families, women, and children joining rebel soldiers in a show of solidarity. Celebrations were not limited to Syria, as communities around the globe rejoiced, including emotive gatherings in London where families expressed hope to return to see loved ones lost to the regime's brutality.
