Kerry draws Red Line: Assad will not take Aleppo
Secretary of State John F. Kerry vowed Tuesday May 3 not to allow Syria's largest city and onetime moderate opposition stronghold of Aleppo to fall to the regime of Syrian president Bashar Assad ‐ even if that means abandoning the fragile cease-fire that U.S. officials have been trying to uphold in the war-torn nation as of 1 May Assad's forces control most of west Aleppo, the airport to the east and the industrial zone to the north so Kerry might be talking about the municipal center of the city. "If Assad's strategy is to somehow think he's going to just carve out Aleppo and carve out a section of the country, I got news for you and for him: this war doesn't end," ???? does anyone think the war is almost over???? Mr. Kerry told reporters at the State Department. Posted by: lord garth 2016-05-05 |
