By After years of a brutal civil war, X (formerly Twitter) is alive with celebration. A new chapter is unfolding, and the energy online is palpable. Opposition forces have made major progress, moving closer to Damascus and shaking the foundations of Assad’s control. For the first time in a long while, Syrians—at home and abroad—are tweeting with hope. The hashtag #FreeSyria is trending again, bringing with it a wave of excitement and relief.
Scrolling through, you’ll see heartfelt tributes to loved ones and triumphant posts that feel like history unfolding in real-time. Some tweets are pure joy. Others are more cautious, like finally breathing out after holding it in for over a decade.
Here’s a roundup of the most powerful, viral, and inspiring tweets from this unforgettable moment for Syrians.
Assad has fled. A humiliated tyrant who made the honored Syrian people into a global refugee story while murdering hundreds of thousands at home.

Today your joy is our joy oh Syria. May Allah give you just rule and prosperity in the days ahead.
And may every tyrant fall. Ameen
Today Syrians all over are celebrating a new era with much hope and excitement. Footage shows very emotional scenes of reunion with family and loved ones after years of separation, agony and uncertainty. We truly wish them well and continue to pray that the Almighty protect them…
