Leaders across the continent of Europe welcomed the demise of the 24-year-long reign of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad, calling him a ‘dictator’ and his regime ‘barbaric’ People gather at Saadallah al-Jabiri Square as they celebrate, after Syria's army command notified officers on Sunday that President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year authoritarian rule has ended, a Syrian officer who was informed of the move told Reuters, following a rapid rebel offensive that took the world by surprise, in Aleppo, Syria. Reuters While reacting to the dramatic victory of the Rebel groups in Syria, the European Union welcomed the fall of the country’s ousted President Bashar Al Assad. It also shows the weakness of Assad’s backers, Russia and Iran,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said in a statement Sunday. EU watches Syria closely European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that as Assad’s “regime lies in tatters,” “what happens in the next hours and days matters.” Meanwhile, British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner also welcomed the collapse of Assad’s draconian regime.
