Syrian Rebels' Flag: The Opposition's Banner Soon-to-Be Nation's New Identity

Syrian rebels declared the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, ending his family's decades-long rule, and raised their green-white-black-red flag across the country. The current Syrian flag, in use since 1980, symbolizes Arab unity and past ties with the United Arab Republic. The rebel flag, inspired by Syria's 1932 independence flag, has become a symbol of freedom and opposition to Assad. With this monumental shift, debates on adopting the rebel flag as Syria's official symbol are gaining momentum. (Picture Credit - AP, IANS)
