Syria Civil War: The first statement of Syria's ousted President Bashar al-Assad has come out after he left the country.

In fact, according to news agency AFI, he has said in his statement that he never wanted to leave the country. He has taken this step out of compulsion. He said in his statement that taking refuge in any other country was never an option for him. He said that he wanted to fight the terrorists. The country is now in the hands of terrorists.

Rebels take over Syria

It is noteworthy that on December 8, Syria's rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) captured the country after an 11-day battle. The rebels also overthrew the 5-decade-old rule of the Assad family. President Bashar al-Assad himself left the country.

Let us inform you that there has been a civil war between Assad and HTS in Syria since 2011. However, Assad has been successful in driving out the rebels with the help of Russia and Iran, but this time he was defeated and the rebels captured Damascus.

Britain came forward to help the Syrian people

Britain on Sunday announced a 50 million pound economic aid package to help vulnerable Syrians after rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad last week. 30 million pounds will provide immediate assistance to over one million people, including food, shelter, emergency healthcare and protection for the most vulnerable, Britain said in a statement.

The money, distributed through UN channels, will meet emerging needs, including the rehabilitation of essential services such as water, hospitals and schools. To help Syrians in neighbouring countries, 10 million pounds will go to the World Food Programme in Lebanon and 10 million pounds will go to Jordan through the WFP and the UN refugee agency, the statement said. "We are committed to supporting the Syrian people as they chart a new path," Foreign Minister David Lammy said.

Schools reopen in Syria

A week after Bashar al-Assad lost power in Syria, order is slowly returning to normal. Syrian students returned to classes on Sunday after the new rulers ordered schools to reopen. Syrian Christians attended prayer meetings on Sunday. The new Islamic rulers have promised to protect the rights of minorities.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) said the lifestyle of minority groups would not be threatened. Some were in tears while others folded their hands in prayer during the first Sunday prayer since the fall of Assad's regime. "They are promising us that the government will be formed soon and God willing things will get better because we have got rid of the oppressor," said Jihad Rafoul, a worshipper.
