Many Syrians are both happy and scared now, and the future of Syria is difficult to predict. Despite the uncertainty, there is hope for a better future and a free Syria.

One of the soldiers told me that the Ministry of the Interior has been evacuated and that the police stations have been abandoned, says journalist Moutaz Abdulkareem to news. After a dramatic week in which Syrian rebel groups have approached Damascus step by step, it became clear on Saturday night that they have taken over the capital. President Bashar al-Assad is said to have seized the country, and according to Iranian and American sources is on his way to Moscow. Afterwards, scenes of both joy and chaos unfolded in the biggest cities. The journalist whom news has spoken to over the phone tells of soldiers who do not know where they are going or what they are going to do. What will happen next in the country, which has been ravaged by war since 2011, is very uncertain. A Syrian rebel soldier fires shots as people celebrate near the clock tower in central Homs.

We could only take pictures in a way that the regime wanted. I feared that someone would take revenge and attack us. Syrian Moutaz Abdulkareem says he is no longer afraid to be a journalist. Photo: Private The Assad regime has tightly controlled the media for over 20 years, and journalists have often been subjected to harassment, imprisonment and, in some cases, violence. Now Abdulkareem says that he is no longer afraid of being a journalist. &#8211; I was in the center and could film what I wanted. I filmed with my mobile without any problems. No one asked me to put down my mobile phone, as was the case before. But the driven journalist also talks about the chaos that has arisen after the rebel forces&#8217; sudden takeover of power. &#8211; Right now there is a lot of shooting and chaos. There are groups that try to organize themselves to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands. Scary situation Large crowds in the biggest cities have filled the streets since early Sunday morning to celebrate the fall of the Assad regime. Photos and videos show Syrians cheering and firing a barrage of shots into the air. &#8211; The situation now is frightening. Several people from the coast have left the city with their families because of the intense shooting. I think it will take several days before the picture becomes clear, says Abdulkareem. Activist Muhammed Fadel Allah believes the future in Syria will be better.

People have been struggling for many years. That is why there is such a reaction to the victory. Hilde Henriksen Waage, professor of history at UiO and senior researcher at the Institute for Peace Research (Prio), says many Syrians are both happy and scared now. &#8211; HTS is, so to speak, the local team of Al Qaeda. It&#8217;s like choosing between plague and cholera, she says of the rebel group and President Assad. She therefore points out that the future of Syria is difficult to predict.

We want Syria to become a state of law with institutions and justice, a Syria for all ethnic and religious groups. We have worked for this for many years, says Allah. Abdulkareem has two brothers he has not seen for eight years, and who have been wanted by the regime since they escaped from the army. &#8211; Today the tears flowed, and I was happy, because now I can finally see my siblings and relatives after many years. My parents are in Lebanon and I have a brother in Germany. Now he hopes for a better future and a free Syria. Interested in abroad?
