The ceasefire in Syria is for the most part upheld, France's Foreign Minister said Wednesday. The cessation of hostilities came into effect at midnight on February 27 Damascus time, after the United States and Russia reached an agreement on a ceasefire between the Syrian government and opposition groups to help end the country’s civil war. "[Foreign Minister] Jean-Marc Ayrault reported on the situation in Syria. According to the minister, the cessation of hostilities appears to be mostly upheld," government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said following a cabinet meeting. Source URL |
