Hey everyone! Today we’re talking about some important news from a country called Syria. ๐
In Syria, there has been a lot of fighting. A group called the Syrian rebels are people who are not happy with their government. The leader of the country is President Bashar al-Assad. The rebels want change, so they are trying to make things different.
On Sunday, the rebels said they had “freed Damascus,” which is the capital city of Syria. They also said they had removed President Assad from power. This is a big deal because changing a leader is a huge event in any country!
At the same time, the Syrian military said they are still working to stop “terrorist groups” in other towns like Hama, Homs, and the Deraa countryside. This means the fighting is still going on in different places.
There was also news that the rebels went into the Iranian embassy in Damascus. An embassy is like a home base for people from another country. Iran is a country that is friendly with Syria’s government. So, when the rebels went into the Iranian embassy, it was a big and serious action.
This situation is complex and affects many people. It’s important to remember that war and fighting can be very hard for the families and children living there. Let’s hope for peace soon! โ๏ธ
