Amid the ongoing political upheaval in Syria, there is a happy news for Indians. The rebel forces in Syria had toppled the government of Bashar al-Assad, ending its 50-year rule. Meanwhile, just two days after the coup, the Indian government on Tuesday safely evacuated 75 Indian citizens from there. According to the statement of the Ministry of External Affairs, this operation was carried out under the supervision of the Indian Embassy in Damascus and Beirut. The Ministry of External Affairs said that “this step was taken only after assessing the security situation in Syria.” In fact, Assad’s government fell in Syria on 8 December. The biggest reason for the fall of Assad’s government was that the rebels took control of the capital Damascus after capturing several big cities and towns. The rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham captured Damascus. After the capture of Damascus, Bashar al-Assad fled the country.
