Syria’s Damascus Airport have resumed international flight operations for the first time since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime

The first international commercial flight since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad landed at Damascus airport, arriving from Qatar. Arab and Western countries that had cut off Syria are now beginning to restart diplomatic relations after a rebel offensive unseated the former president.

One month after the surprisingly rapid fall of President Bashar al-Assad's government, Syrians are balancing feelings of hope and trepidation for the future. National reconciliation remains uncertain,
