  • Groups of Syrians strolled through the palaces of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday following his ouster, wandering from room to room, posing for photographs, and with some taking items of furniture or ornaments.

The article from MSN discusses the aftermath of the Syrian conflict, focusing on the public's reaction to the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. As Assad's control weakens, Syrians have begun to explore and reclaim spaces once exclusive to the elite, including Assad's palaces. People are seen wandering through these opulent residences, taking items like furniture and ornaments as symbols of reclaiming their country from a regime marked by oppression and luxury at the expense of the populace. This act of appropriation reflects a broader sentiment of reclaiming national wealth and a form of grassroots justice against the backdrop of a nation ravaged by war, economic hardship, and political turmoil. The scenes depict a mix of awe, anger, and a reclaiming of dignity by ordinary Syrians in the face of a crumbling dictatorship.
