Breaking News: Syrian opposition forces announced the liberation of all prisoners from Sednaya prison, a notorious facility near Damascus, in a daring raid on December 9. Dubbed a “historic strike,” the group claimed the operation marked the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s 24-year regime. 🗝️⚡
Sednaya, long criticized by international human rights groups, has been a symbol of political repression, housing tens of thousands of dissidents over decades. The opposition’s victory lap included vows to “free Syria from tyranny,” though independent verification remains pending. 🌍🔍
Analysts call this a potential turning point in Syria’s 12-year conflict. But with Damascus still under government control, questions linger: Is this a decisive blow or a temporary triumph? 💥🕵️♂️ (Think: ‘Prison Break’ meets real-world geopolitics.)
