Syria: The opportunity for peace and silence before the battle (Part 1)
Syria: The opportunity for peace and silence before the battle (Part 1)
6/3/16
Syria has been witnessing relatively peaceful moments
on almost throughout the country after the ceasefire sponsored by the US and
Russia, began to take effect as from 0 hour 27/2.
Although there are many doubts about the feasibility
of the truce, the positive sign is still considered as a rare opportunity for
the first 5 years of conflicts for parties take time to reassess the situation
and hope about a lasting solution to the crisis.
The ceasefire can be said as the latest effort by the
international community to seek a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
Russia and the US, the two co-authors of the agreement, calling it a
"historic opportunity" that the warring factions in Syria must grasp
because the suspension of hostilities in Syria is a hard task due to the
complex nature of the crisis.
Analysts noted that the warring parties in Syria
agreed to a ceasefire is a positive step forward launching negotiations between
the parties. In particular, the Syrian government and opposition groups adhere
to a ceasefire agreement in two weeks has opened the way for humanitarian
operations and seeking a political solution to the conflict which has claimed
the lives of more than 250.000 people.
The ceasefire is also considered a test to assess
goodwill of the warring parties in this Middle Eastern country. UN envoy on
Syria Staffan de Mistura stressed if the ceasefire is maintained, it will be
the basis for conducting a new round of talks between the Syrian government and
rebel forces. It is expected to be resumed in March 7th, 2016 after
being postponed at the last minute due to inconsistency of participants.
Shortly after the ceasefire has come into effect, the
Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the fighting between government and the
opposition ended in 34 towns, although in some areas there are still sporadic
violations . People in some "hot spots" admit the situation has
returned to calm signs.
Along with Moscow's claim to a complete halt of air
strikes, the US also made the first effort to ensure that the temporary truce
in Syria is fully and seriously implemented. US President Barack Obama, in a
speech in Washington, urged the warring parties in Syria must implement the
necessary steps for the truce to be maintained. In the coming days, it would be
extremely important moment to verify the implementation of the ceasefire
agreement.
We can say that the first day of implementation of the
cease-fire has passed relatively smoothly, but it is too early to be able to
breathe a sigh of relief. Will the deal last for 2 weeks as the time limit set
out? It is a big question because of the complexity in the political arena as
well as the goodwill of Syrian stakeholders that many people are still
skeptical about the effectiveness of this agreement. Even the Syrians, who are
yearning for a lasting peace in the country and have been ravaged for many
years of civil war, also felt the fragility of the truce.

there are consistent Russian-led attempts to alter the balance of power on the ground, capitalising on the global mobilisation against terrorism, in the wake of the wave of terrorist attacks staged by IS.
the upcoming political battle that the opposition has to fight seems to be just as brutal.

this is the best opportunity we can imagine that the Syrian people have had over the last five years
Among the many difficulties will be monitoring what the deal’s sponsors and participants call a ‘‘cessation of hostilities.
