Obama Warns Russia ‘World Will Be Watching’ Syria Truce
US President Barack Obama put the onus for a ceasefire in Syria on the regime and its Russian ally Thursday, warning Moscow and Damascus that the “world will be watching.”
Hours before the Saturday cessation of hostilities was due to come into force, Obama said “the coming days will be critical” in determining whether a path out of the brutal five-year long war can be found. —Agence France-Presse
