(Global Times) The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that China is closely following the situation in Syria and hopes that stability will return as soon as possible. The situation in Syria has undergone dramatic and astonishing changes as opposition forces took over state television channels on Sunday to announce what they described as the fall of Damascus and the end of President Bashar al-Assad's government.
Syria's situation has undergone a sudden change over the weekend. On Sunday, reports indicated that opposition forces entered the capital city Damascus and that Assad had left the country, although there was no official confirmation.
"The Chinese government has been actively helping Chinese nationals who wish to leave the country to do so in a safe and orderly way, and staying in contact with those Chinese still in Syria and offering them advice on how to stay safe. We urge relevant parties in Syria to ensure the safety and security of the Chinese institutions and personnel in Syria. The Chinese Embassy is still up and running and carrying out its duty in Syria. We will continue to make every possible assistance to Chinese nationals in need," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The fast-moving situation has caused astonishment around the world, with regional countries and major powers alike were seemingly unprepared for the abrupt change in Syria.
Over the past few days, the situation in Syria has undergone rapid and dramatic changes. On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that following his talks with a number of participants in the armed conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic, Bashar al-Assad decided to step down as the Syrian President and leave the country, instructing the government to transfer power peacefully, according to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday.
Syrian opposition fighters announced a curfew in Damascus on Sunday, effective from 4 pm (1300 GMT) to 5 am local time, following their capture of the Syrian capital that led to the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's government, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Syria's fate is the sole responsibility of the Syrian people and should be pursued without foreign imposition or destructive intervention, Iran's foreign ministry said on Sunday in a statement, which also said that the relations between the two nations of Iran and Syria have a long history and have always been friendly, and it is expected that these relations will continue, according to CCTV.
Iraq's official news agency reported that the Iraqi embassy building in the Syrian capital has been evacuated, and staff have been moved to Lebanon. This comes after Iraq closed its border crossing with Syria, and the Iranian embassy in Damascus was stormed by members of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebel group, Al-Jazeera reported.
Russia, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have issued a joint statement calling for a "political solution" to the Syria issue in the capital of Qatar Doha, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Sunday.
On Saturday, the foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey and Iran held talks in Doha to discuss Syria, calling for an end to the war as soon as possible. After the meeting, the three countries together with the five Arab countries issued a joint statement that expressed concern over the threat the Syria crisis could cause to the region and international security.
According to Al-Jazeera, HTS is the biggest fighting group in operation Deterrence of Aggression launched by rebels in November. Formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, then Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, it is a group of allied factions, including Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, Liwa al-Haqq, Jabhat Ansar al-Din and Jaysh al-Sunna.
At the start of the Syrian war, Jabhat al-Nusra was formed in 2012 by ISIL (ISIS), from which it split a year later and declared allegiance to al-Qaeda. It severed ties with al-Qaeda and joined with other factions to rebrand as HTS in 2017. HTS in effect controls Idlib and is estimated to have up to 30,000 fighters, Al-Jazeera reported.
Anglo/Jew criminality can only be described as "undisguised".
"Jihadi terrorists now rule Syria" and that's from the zionist Daily Telegraphic Nonsense!!!
It must be remembered that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group backed by NATO member Turkey and leading this anti-Assad onslaught, is a US-designated terror organization.

While it is unclear whether al-Jolani coordinated with the US and Israel prior to the assault, former US Special Representative for Syria Engagement James Jeffrey described HTS in 2021 as “an asset” of Washington, while Jolani himself has insisted that his fight is not with the West, but with Assad and Iran.
“We love Israel and we were never its enemies,” a jihadist fighter from Idlib told Israel’s Kan broadcaster last week.

Israel has capitalized on the fall of Assad by moving troops into a region of the Golan Heights that had served as a buffer zone between the two countries since the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement was signed in the wake of the Yom Kippur War.

"The End of Syria’s Brutal Ruling Dynasty", reports Bloomberg BS. Anglo/Jew propaganda also refers to president Assad as a "dictator". But we know that Syria has a secular society that protects Christians. We also know that the Jews hated self-hating Jew, Jesus Christ and sent him to his death, whilst also beheading his uncle, John the Baptist, who performed the ritual re-birth of jewish sinners to draw a line underneath their earlier life of sin.
Similarly, lewrockwell.com points out that Libya had the most developed society in Africa before the Anglo/Jew gangsters illegally over-threw Colonel Gadaffi.
The Anglo/Jew gangsters absolutely have to be stopped. As self-hating Jew, Bobby Fischer, said, they're a menace to humanity. Given that they're clearly bent on World domination, humanity has little choice but to exterminate the threat at the earliest opportunity.
