UN head encouraged by Syria ceasefire
UN chief Ban Ki-moon and his envoy today said they were encouraged that a ceasefire appears to be holding in Syria, but urged its government to keep its promises and said a single gunshot could derail the fragile peace.
Mr Ban told a news conference in Geneva that it is mainly up to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime to keep its promise and hold to a ceasefire. “As of this moment the situation looks calmer. We are following it very closely,” Mr Ban said.
