The United Nations Syrian peace envoy – led by Staffan de Mistura – reportedly made a surprise visit to Damascus on Monday in order to discuss a long-term ceasefire with the Syrian Government.
According to government sources, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mou’allem is expected to meet with Staffan de Mistura and his staff on early Tuesday; this comes one week after the proposed ceasefire agreement by Russia was accepted by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the U.S.’ allies.
