Extraordinary footage has emerged on social media of jubilant and outraged Syrians looting deposed President Bashar al-Assad’s palace, carting off Louis Vuitton-branded boxes and other luxury goods after the regime’s stunning collapse.

The shocking scenes come hours after rebel forces Saturday reached Damascus, declaring the capital city “liberated” as Assad fled the country.

Footage posted online, which appeared to have been taken inside the palace, showed looters rifling through bed linens, clothes and kitchen items, with one person carrying a distinctive orange Louis Vuitton-branded box.

Assad’s wife, the British-born Asma al-Assad, was long known for her love of expensive possessions.

Useless leaders living large while the citizens live in deprivation

Reminds me of one man who threw his citizens into economic hardships only to buy jets, yachts and cars for himself

Same thing will happen to the incompetent criminal mandate thief sitting in aso rock. Anybody that supported that fool do not deserve to be called a Nigerian because it is an insult to other Nigerians with functioning IQ

Are u not ashamed of urself , defending a criminal president that threw the country into economic anarchy....at ur old age , u are doing tribalism, while that criminal in asorock keeps on disgracing people like u... is Obi the president? Or u think insulting obi will somehow stir this country to economic prosperity.... people like u should be terribly ashamed of urself .... defending a man that wasn't even qualified to contest in the first place ...and now showed us the reason y he wasn't meant to rule... u should at least hide ur face in shame
