Hey friends! ๐ Have you heard about what’s happening in Syria? Let’s break it down together.
Recently, opposition groups have taken control of Damascus, the capital city of Syria. This is a big deal because it marks the end of over 50 years of leadership by the Assad family.
President Bashar al-Assad has left the country and is reported to be in Moscow, Russia. With the government changing, the Prime Minister, Mohammad Ghazi Al-Jallali, is temporarily in charge and is working with the new leaders to keep things running smoothly.
What’s Going On in Damascus?
The new leaders have asked everyone to stay calm. They’ve put a curfew in place to keep people safe and are telling everyone to protect public buildings and places. Some groups are causing trouble by damaging shops and buildings, but many are trying to keep peace in the city.
Other Countries Get Involved
The United States and Israel have carried out military actions in Syria. The U.S. is targeting groups like ISIS to prevent them from gaining power. Israel is also taking steps to protect its borders and has moved into areas like the Golan Heights.
What Do Other Leaders Say?
Leaders around the world are talking about Syria’s future. The United Nations is encouraging Syrians to work together to build a peaceful country. Some leaders are offering help, while others think it’s best to stay out of it.
It’s a time of big change for Syria, and everyone is watching to see what happens next. Let’s hope for peace and a better future for the people of Syria! โจ
