Syrians in Berlin celebrate fall of Assad regime
Syrians celebrate the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Berlin, waving Syrian opposition flags. Bashar al-Assad ruled Syria from 2000, when he inherited power from his father. Since 2011, he oversaw the crackdown on the democracy movement that began with peaceful protests. The Assad government's repression of the protests morphed into one of the bloodiest wars of the century, killing hundreds of thousands of people and displacing millions. IMAGES
