The Syrian armed opposition captured the capital of Damascus on Sunday. Russian officials said that President Bashar al-Assad had stepped down after negotiations with participants of the Syrian conflict, and left Syria for Russia, where he was granted asylum. Mohammed al-Bashir, who ran an Idlib-based administration formed by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other opposition groups, was named interim prime minister on Tuesday.
