    Syrian hostilities to end from Saturday
  • After intense diplomatic negotiations, the Syrian government and the rebels have agreed to the "cessation of hostilities" from 27 Feb.

    Although the plan would not result in complete peace (IS and Nusra front are not included), it would precede the formal ceasefire to be established in future.

    The United States has already warned that Syria could break if the fighting does not stop.
