You don’t have to reply to every post about Syria with doomerism.
Syrians and those of us who have been activists on their behalf for many years are well aware of the uncertainty of the future.
People are on it, trust me.
Let people celebrate the end of Assad’s reign of terror for a day or two.

"My coworker from Syria is ecstatic. One of the kindest, most generous and hard working people I know. He's been waiting so long for this day. Says he has family scattered all over the world. Warms my heart to see him like this. Idk what happens next but I'm hopeful and I'm just happy for him."
"As a Syrian, this is one of the happiest days of my and my whole families lives. We have been oppressed for 50+ years. I don't think people understand just how horrific the Assad family was, people were scared to speak in their own houses "The walls have ears". The most horrendous torture, killings, kidnappings, etc. I accepted I would never again see my homeland, now there is hope. May Allah keep Syria safe and whoever comes next, I hope they try their best and stick to what they are saying."
Saw those two comment above on ResetEra from a Syrian and someone who knows a Syrian.
Today is a day of celebration, a brutal dictator and Putin ally has fallen, seeing the elation on Syrians faces is beautiful. Nobody knows what comes after, I hope it's an improvement but Syrians have overthrown their oppressor and they have a better chance to improve things now, I think we should give them a chance, it's a better chance than being under the combined boot of Assad and Putin.
For today, one less evil bastard controlling the world.
