Diplomats: Syria willing to suspend Aleppo strikes 6 weeks
[Ynet] The United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
envoy to Syria says he has received a commitment from the Syrian government to suspend Arclight airstrikes on the city of Aleppo for six weeks to allow a proposed UN plan to "freeze" hostilities there to be tested, UN diplomats say.
Staffan de Mistura was briefing the Security Council in closed session on Tuesday. Diplomats say there is no indication of when the government's six-week suspension of Arclight airstrikes on Syria's largest city might begin. De Mistura says he will return to Syria to assess whether the government's commitment is possible.
