Could be echoing propaganda but, if not, this is impressively fast:
. "Syrian army officers in Damascus discharged"
(BBC 8:44pm ET) UK-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reports that hundreds of members of the Syrian army and security forces have been seen taking off their military uniforms after being told that they were being discharged as the regime had fallen.
Orders had reportedly been issued to them to withdraw from Damascus International Airport following the departure of a private plane.
My impression is that Ghana has been a fairly stable democracy for about three decades or so. Which probably is why the country isnтАЩt in the news so much. In that regards, I guess itтАЩs similar to Botswana and Costa Rica: islands of longtime stability.
Sounds like Assad may get to experience the less fun part of being a brutal dictator.

At this point I'm just living vicariously through Syrian and South Korea as a way of coping with our own democratic backsliding.
That's healthy, right?
Do what you gotta do
And Ghana. Romania redo coming up.
Isn't Ghana legitimately democratic though?

Botswana and Costa Rica have had uninterrupted democracy for much longer than that, though.
