Opposition in Aleppo rejects U.N. truce plan

Military and political opposition leaders in Syria’s largest city of Aleppo refused on Sunday a temporary truce plan proposed by United Nations Envoy Staffan de Mistura, Agence France-Presse reported...

“We refuse to meet with Mr Staffan de Mistura if it is not on the basis of a comprehensive solution to Syria’s drama through the exit of (President) Bashar al-Assad and his chief of staff, and the prosecution of war criminals,” Aleppo’s revolutionary council said in a statement.

Separately, Syria’s exiled opposition praised France on Sunday for maintaining its “exemplary” opposition to President Bashar al-Assad after a group of French lawmakers made a controversial visit to Damascus this week.
“The position of France has always been exemplary, and your country has consistently held to the side of the Syrian people against any attempt to rehabilitate the regime in Damascus under false pretenses,” the group’s leader, Khaled Khoja, wrote in a letter to the French government.

His letter followed an unofficial trip by French lawmakers to the Syrian capital last week, during which they met with Assad and other senior officials.

  1. L'opposition syrienne rejette la trêve proposée par l'Organisation des Nations unies à Alep...

    L'Italo-Suédois Staffan de Mistura, médiateur de l'Organisation des Nationes unies (ONU) pour la Syrie, espérait obtenir un cessez-le-feu pour permettre au moins provisoirement à Alep d'échapper aux combats ravageurs dont elle est le théâtre depuis maintenant plusieurs années. Le président Bachar Al-Assad s'était dit favorable à une trêve de six semaines. Les forces de l'opposition militaire et politique de la province du nord de la Syrie en ont décidé autrement, en refusant dimanche 1er mars le plan qu'il proposait.
    « Nous refusons de rencontrer M. Staffan de Mistura si ce n'est pas sur la base d'une solution globale du drame syrien, qui passe par le départ de [Bachar Al-]Assad et de son état-major et le jugement des criminels de guerre », explique dans un communiqué la commission des forces de la révolution d'Alep, un groupe réunissant opposants et membres de la société civile d'Alep, constitué samedi à Kilis, en Turquie, en présence du chef de l'opposition en exil Khaled Hoja, « pour annoncer sa position sur l'initiative de M. de Mistura »..........En savoir plus sur http://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2015/03/01/l-opposition-syrienne-rejette-la-treve-proposee-par-l-onu-a-alep_4585412_3218.html#dqvPctk06yQF39TF.99
