A Truce In Syria? Peace Envoy Calls For Ceasefire During Eid. -- Christian Science Monitor
International peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi is asking Syria's closest regional ally, Iran, to help arrange a pause in the fighting in Syria during the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.
International peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi appealed to Iran to help arrange a ceasefire in Syria during the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha as rebels and government forces fought street by street and village by village on Monday.
Brahimi made the request in talks with Iranian leaders on Sunday in Tehran, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's closest regional ally in his campaign to crush a 19-month-old uprising.
The veteran Algerian diplomat said the civil war in Syria was getting worse by the day and stressed the urgent need to stop the bloodshed, his spokesman said on Monday.

My Comment: These efforts are a total waste of time. The Syrian civil war has entered the phase where both sides are now completely dedicated to destroying the other. Talks of ceasefire .... negotiated agreements .... UN peace keepers .... this is all just fantasy.

Aye, shows how dillusional the UN really is.
Thank you D. Plowman for your comment. Yup .... with no power to influence what is happening in Syria today, they are trying their best to position themselves for when the conflict is over .... and their input may be needed.
