The Syrian government has fallen follow increasing attacks by rebels. The government was toppled today, 8 December and according to the rebels, President Bashar Assad fled the country.
The rebels are reported to have swiftly advanced on the capital city, Damascus, in just one week. Following the announcement by the rebels, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali assured the country that the government was willing and ready to handover its functions to a transitional government.
President Assad had resisted the opposition since 2011 when the internal conflict started. The rebellion followed what is known as the the Arab Spring – a series of anti-government protests in the region which were supported by western countries and managed to oust leaders in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia since the early 2010s.
With the support of Russia and Iran, the Syrian regime managed to contain the uprising resulting in a 13 year protracted internal conflict. The rebels were supported by the USA and other western countries.
An estimated 600,000 people died in the civil war, half of them civilians. 12 million people are estimated to have been displaced from their homes with half of that number fleeing to become refugees abroad.

THESE ARE WHAT WE CALL REBELS. THESE ARE WHAT WE CALL POLITICAL DISSIDENTS. REAL WELL ORGANISED, WELL LED, WELL STRUCTURED AND WELL SUPPORTED BY IDENTIFIABLE COUNTRIES, AND SPONSORS.
NOT THE 300 ZANU GUKURAHUNDI STAGE - MANAGED SO-CALLED DISSIDENTS OF THE 1980S IN MATEBELELAND. THEIR WHOLE STORY IS SO OPAQUE, BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER REAL. THEY WERE A ZANU CREATED REASON, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA TO CRUSH JOSHUA NKOMO, ZAPU, AND THE ANC..
ALL REBEL GROUPS ARE WELL DEFINED, THEIR MISSION CLEAR AND LED BY A KNOWN LEADER.
YET IN ZIMBABWE, JOSHUA NKOMO, SAID TO BE THEIR LEADER WAS SITTING COMFY AT HIS HOME IN THE BUSH, UNTOUCHED, AND NEVER ARRESTED. HE WAS WELCOMED IN BOTSWANA, AND THE UK. WAS WELCOMED BACK TO ZIM BY THE SAME MUGABE AND HIS ZANU, WHEM MUGABE MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED, AND MADE VICE PRESIDENT, WITH ALL THE PERKS..
IN ANGOLA, SAVIMBIBDIED IN THE BUSH WEARING UNDERPANTS ONLY. IN MOZAMBIQUE, RENAMO WAS ALSO LED BY ALPHONSO DHLAKAMA WHO LIVED IN THE GORONGOSA MOUNTAINS.
NOT EVEN ONE BATTLE ENCOUNTER, WAS RECORDED BETWEEN THE ZANU GUKURAHUNDIS, AND THE DISSIDENTS BETWEEN 1982 AND 1987, WHEN WE WERE TOLD ABOUT THE SO CALLED WAR.
INSTEAD, THE GUKURAHUNDIS FOCUS ON HARRASSING, ABDUCTING, TORTURING, AND KILLING MTHWAKAZI VILLAGERS WHO WERE CAUGHT IN BETWEEN. THEIR PROGRAMME OF SHONA LISTING MATEBELELAND AND REVENGING FOR SOCALLED TRIBAL WARS BECAME A SPECTACULAR FAILURE.
TODAY, MTHWAKAZI IS ON A FIGHT BACK CAMPAIGN. THEY WANT THEIR STATE, THEIR CULTURE, AND THEIR LANGUAGES. THEY ALSO WANT THE ZANU SHONAS OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY. IT'S A NOW A LONG HAUL FIGHT TO THE FINISH OF STRATEGIES AND TACTICS. NOT OPEN WARFARE.
AMONG THESE FIGHTERS, ARE SENGEZO TSHABANGU, AND THE MRP.
HAIL FIGHTERS OF MTHWAKAZI. BAYEDE MAQHAWE!!
