Syrians in Egypt celebrating the fall of Assad’s regime catches the attention of the int’l press

The fall of Bashar Al Assad’s regime has sparked celebrations among Syrians in Egypt, with AFP highlighting the scenes of jubilation in Cairo’s Syrian neighborhoods. Syrian restaurants and shops in Cairo became impromptu hubs of celebration, as exiles expressed hope for a return to their homeland after years of war and displacement. Many, like 15-year-old Reda Al Khedr, who fled Homs in 2014, voiced disbelief and optimism about rebuilding a “liberated Syria,” while others shared bittersweet reflections on loved ones lost during the conflict.
