Map of control: Damascus is green

Here's the latest map of control in Syria. You'll notice the coastal regions of Latakia and Tartus are still Syrian government red.

That's because as we understand it the rebels have not yet taken control there and the regular military remains the dominant - if passive - force.

There's been footage from both those provinces of people celebrating the government's fall and tearing down statues of Hafez al-Assad.

Notably, Damascus and its countryside is shaded opposition green for the first time in 14 years.
