Syrians Celebrate the Anniversary of the Revolution After a Decade of Sacrifices and Struggle

Syrians are preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the Syrian revolution for the first time as "victors," after more than a decade of sacrifices and resilience, following the fall of the Assad regime that had oppressed them for decades.
In mid-March 2011, the first chants demanding freedom and dignity were raised, which later evolved into a popular uprising and a long struggle against Assad. Syrians paid a heavy price, in blood and hopes. Today, after years of bombardment, displacement, and suffering, Syrians are closing an era of injustice, opening a new chapter marked by victory.
Reaching this moment was not easy; despite the bombardment and destruction, the rebels remained for years trapped in a narrow geographical area in northwest Syria, enduring various forms of torment. Nevertheless, they never wavered in their belief that the moment of victory would come and that the hope they carried since the first demonstration would not fade.
In the streets of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, and Daraa, the spirit of the revolution is renewed in everyone's faces, and the echoes of forbidden slogans resonate. Celebrations are no longer confined to exile or specific areas; they can now be heard on every corner and written on every wall. Syrians have triumphed over the Assad regime, as well as over fear and tyranny, affirming that justice, even if delayed, must be achieved.
For the first time, Syrians in all provinces are celebrating this anniversary after their victory over the Assad regime. After years of oppression and displacement, the squares that witnessed the fiercest security campaigns are transforming into fields of joy, as Syrians from various cities and exiles gather to celebrate this long-awaited historic event.
