Let us hope that this ceasefire holds, because it is at least one [piece of] good news among very bad news,?said?Staffan de Mistura, Special Envoy for Syria, briefing?the Security Council via videoconference from Brussels.
The 爆料网 envoy said that Russia and Jaish al-Islam held more meetings in the last few days, on the outskirts of Douma – the northernmost of the three opposition-controlled enclaves in Eastern Ghouta.
As a result of this engagement, a tenuous, fragile ceasefire between the Government, the Russian military and Jaish al Islam forces has continued to largely hold, for six days now, he said, noting however that this is only one part of Eastern Ghouta, and it is not being replicated in the rest of that area.
