The Syrian government on Wednesday said the international
envoy’s call for a holiday cease-fire would likely fail
because the rebels fighting to topple Bashar Assad’s regime
have no unified leadership to agree to it.
The envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, had asked Iranian officials to
help broker a truce during the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha,
which falls later this month.

But Syria’s state-run Al-Thawra newspaper, a government
mouthpiece, said Wednesday that the biggest obstacle to the
truce was the lack of an authority to sign for the rebels.
“There is the state, represented by the government and the
army on one front, but who is on the other front?” the paper
asked in an editorial.
All international efforts to end Syria’s civil war to date
have failed. Both rebels and government forces have
disregarded previous cease-fires, and the scores of rebel
units fighting to topple the regime have no unified
leadership. Many don’t communicate with each other.
