Opposition forces swept across the country and entered Damascus with little or no resistance.

President Bashar Assad , Syria ’s ruler for 24 years , was reported to have fled the country for an undisclosed location.

Anti-government protests in 2011 met with a brutal crackdown, escalating into a civil war that has killed more than half a million people.

U.N. special envoy for Syria seeks urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition,” as Syrian state media denies Assad has fled the country.

Syrian state television airs a video statement by a group of men saying that President Bashar Assad has been overthrown and all prisoners have been set free.
