Syrians living in Germany celebrate the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in the streets of Berlin
German daily newspaper Der Spiegel reported on Monday that the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees will not process asylum applications from Syrians until further notice. A spokesperson for the agency justified the decision citing the instability of the situation in Syria in the face of recent events.
Recent events in Syria have led to the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, which had ruled the country continuously for 24 years. As rebels entered Damascus on Sunday, the dictator fled and was eventually granted asylum by his ally, President Vladimir Putin.
