UN Syria envoy rejects foreign meddling in Assad's fate

The United Nations special envoy for Syria has rejected foreign interference in the fate of the Syrian president.


Staffan de Mistura said the fate of Bashar al-Assad should be determined by the Syrian nation and without foreign interference. He added that the solution to the conflict in Syria should be Syrian-led and Syrian-owned. The UN envoy also voiced optimism about the recent ceasefire in Arab country, saying it has led to a sharp reduction in the number of deaths despite continued breaches, which he described as minor. He added that prior to the truce, up to 120 people were being killed each day. He also said that over the past ten days more than 240 humanitarian trucks have been able to reach seven besieged areas across Syria while noting that more needs to be done to reach other areas under siege.
