Syrian tweeters and activists interacted widely with the first anniversary of the fall of the ousted President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, as Syrians commemorated this day, which witnessed a lightning operation carried out by the Aggression Deterrence Forces that ended 54 years of Assad family rule in the country.
Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa performed the dawn prayer in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, wearing military uniform, and gave a speech on this occasion, while Syrians gathered in squares and squares in most of the country’s governorates to celebrate the anniversary of the liberation.
Various cities witnessed popular, official and military events, and mosques also witnessed a takbeer campaign on this occasion, and camera lenses documented the joy and joy of Syrians in various parts of the country.
A large military parade was held in the capital, Damascus, from the Mezzeh Highway to Umayyad Square in the presence of President Al-Sharaa, in a festive scene that reflected the importance of this historical occasion.
The Autonomous Administration in northern and eastern Syria congratulated the Syrians on the fall of the Assad regime, but prevented the holding of any gatherings or mass events in areas under its control, justifying this for security reasons.
The episode (12/8/2025) of the “Shabakat” program highlighted the contrast in the comments of Syrian activists and tweeters between joy over the achievement, hope for the future, and remembrance of the great sacrifices made by the Syrian people, as their interactions combined celebration of the moment of liberation and aspiration towards building a new Syria.
Great hope
Tweet Amjad expressed his feelings on the first anniversary, and wrote:
A year since the liberation of Syria passed quickly, and it was full of moments of joy and hope among the years of our lives. This year was a Syrian year par excellence, with all the obstacles. We have great hope for Syria.
In the same context, activist Minno expressed her joy, saying:
One year has passed since the liberation of Syria, God bears witness. It is one of the unforgettable days in my life
On the other hand, the tweeter Ahmed linked history to the sacrifices made for freedom, and wrote:
December 8 is not a history on paper, but rather a history written in the blood of the martyrs, written with the great victory over the former regime. From this date, the sun of the new Syria shone.
Regarding the symbols of the Syrian revolution, activist Abdul Aziz wrote:
May God’s peace be upon you, Syria, at all times. Peace be upon your great revolution. Peace be upon the martyrs. Peace be upon Al-Sarout and Alloush. May every year be good to Syria and its revolution.
Reports indicate that Syria has achieved major transformations a year after the overthrow of the Assad regime, reshaping its foreign relations, coinciding with a broad lifting of Western sanctions that were obstructing its recovery path.
On the humanitarian level, more than 3 million Syrians, both refugees and displaced persons, have returned to their homes during a full year since the overthrow of the Assad regime, according to what the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees confirms.
On the other hand, the United Nations confirms that humanitarian needs are still urgent in various parts of Syria, with about 16.5 million people expected to need assistance during the current year, which indicates that the humanitarian and economic challenges are still great despite the positive transformations that the country has witnessed.
