Syria's National Flag Changes After Assad's Fall

After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s national flag has undergone a significant change. Just like the flags of many countries change with a government’s collapse, Syria’s flag has been altered following the fall of the Assad regime, which had been in power for over five decades. The new flag is now being raised at Syrian embassies around the world, including in Russia, a close ally of Assad, as well as in various other countries.

According to a report from Reuters, during the conflict with Assad's regime, rebel groups had been using a revolutionary flag instead of the official government flag. Following Assad's downfall, this revolutionary flag has now been adopted as the country's official flag.

The flag has already been changed at Syria’s consulates in Istanbul and Paris, where the flag of the Assad government has been replaced by the revolutionary flag of the rebels.

The green portion of the new flag represents Syria’s agricultural sector and the early hopes for independence. The white part symbolizes peace and unity for a prosperous Syria, while the black section reflects the suffering and struggles of the Syrian people.

The three stars on the flag represent Syria's historical regions—Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor. These regions symbolize the joint struggle for Syria’s independence and dignity.
