Thousands gathered in Umayyad Square in Damascus, Syria, to celebrate the first anniversary of the Assad regime’s overthrow after 14 years of civil war. Festivities included fireworks, concerts, dancing, and a paramotor show over the square.
A giant image of Abdulbasit Sarout — a symbol of the Syrian revolution — was projected onto the National Library, prompting emotional chants and songs from the crowd. President Ahmed al-Shara’s address was shown on large screens and received strong public support, while pro-Gaza slogans were frequently heard.
Security forces maintained tight measures throughout the event.
