The US and Russia Announce Syria Ceasefire

  • The United States and Russia announced plans for a landmark cessation of hostilities to take effect in war-torn Syria, excluding the main jihadist factions.
  • The announcement drew a conditional acceptance from the main opposition grouping.
  • As per reports, the partial truce would begin at midnight Damascus time and apply to parties to the conflict that have committed to the deal, but not to the Islamic State (IS) group or Al-Nusra Front.
  • Parties wishing to be included in the agreement have until noon Damascus time on Friday to inform Moscow or Washington of their intention to honour the ceasefire.
  • If implemented and adhered to, this cessation will not only lead to a decline in violence, but also continue to expand the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian supplies to besieged areas and support a political transition.
