Syria’s opposition will stick to the cessation of hostilities despite alleged violations by the Syrian government on Saturday, reports Reuters.
The Syrian opposition alleged that Syria’s government violated the ceasefire 15 times with more breaches on Sunday.
The spokesperson for the opposition High Negotiating Committee (HNC) Salim al-Muslat said,
“The decision to remain quiet, not to do anything, and I believe they will stick to the truce. Yesterday was the first day people can really go out and walk on the streets.”
Mr Muslat added concerns that the HNC had not been mentioned in the UN resolution on Syria and that the mechanism to monitor the ceasefire was worryingly unclear, adding,
“This really worries us because we don’t know how to deal with any violations and what are the areas that should not be targeted.”
