Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
Coming to you live from London with me, Paul Henley.
Well, many in the crowds of people in Syria celebrating the fall of the Assad regime might have made pleas to the international community to leave their country country alone to work out its own future.
The diplomatic international effort to influence the direction of Syria is now well underway.
Nonetheless, in Jordan today, foreign ministers from eight Arab countries said they were supporting a peaceful transition process for Syria.
They said Syria's state institutions must be preserved to stop the country slipping into chaos.
At a news conference in the city of Aqaba, the Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi pledged support to the Syrian people.
We all agree that we stand by Syria, we stand by the brotherly Syrian people.
We will support them with all that.
We have to launch a comprehensive and inclusive political process that fulfills the rights of all Syrians and ensures a better future for all Syrians.
