US Embassy warns Americans to leave Syria as rebel groups advance

[Washington Examiner] The U.S. Embassy in Syria issued a new security warning to citizens in the country, urging them to leave as rebel groups advance and cause further unrest.

Rebel groups have advanced on Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s forces, the Syrian Arab Army, in the past week, after he established control over most of the country in 2020 and had four years of relative stability. The country has been largely unstable for the past decade, with the conflict beginning in 2011, but fighting has increased with the latest rebel advancements.

The advisory issued Friday warns that areas of the country affected by the latest instability include Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Manbij, and Daraa, but are also prevalent in other areas.

"The security situation in Syria continues to be volatile and unpredictable with active clashes between armed groups throughout the country. The Department of State urges U.S. citizens to depart Syria now while commercial options remain available in Damascus," the warning said.

The advisory also warns that those who elect not to leave the country should "prepare contingency plans for emergency situations and be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods."
