Syrian rebels and civilians have been seen touring and ransacking residences of the country’s now former President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus. Children were seen running into the entrance of Assad’s Al Rawda presidential palace as men walked out with furniture, according to a video published by Reuters. An armed man was seen carrying a rifle in the palace.
Another video posted on social media showed the hallways of what appeared to be another residence in the capital, with the sound of men and women celebrating. “This is the people’s money,” one man was heard saying. The source was not able to geolocate the video.
