Wrapped up against the cold in northern France, Syrian migrant Ali said that while he was delighted president Bashar al-Assad had been toppled, he was still determined to cross the sea to England.
"I was happy when Bashar al-Assad left, he's a criminal," he said near the tent where he spent a bitter night in the port city of Calais.
"Nobody wanted him in power anymore," said the 23-year-old, who did not give his surname for his safety.
"But the situation in Syria remains confused and the general atmosphere is chaotic," he added.
