Daraa was the place where the rebellion against Bashar Al-Assad began. 15 boys/young men were arrested and brutally tortured in 2011. The resulting uprising was the start of the civil war that the Assad regime repressed brutally with the aid of Russian forces, using torture, disappearance and chemical weapons. The local population won't be sad to see the back of Bashar's mukhabarat and the army.
Whether an islamist regime is much better remains to be see, but I shed few tears for the Assads.
