Syria’s foreign minister says government forces could agree to another cessation of fighting around the city of Aleppo, but only if it receives guarantees from rebel forces that civilians would be allowed to leave the city. At a news conference with his Russian counterpart in Moscow, Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said Friday that the recent so-called “humanitarian pause” in the Aleppo fighting was ruined by fighters whom he called terrorists firing on the evacuation corridors. “We are ready to again repeat this attempt after we receive guarantees that confirm that the countries supporting these terrorist organizations are prepared to act so that civilians could use the cease-fire,” he said. Syrian state media says seven civilians have been killed by rebel shelling on government-controlled areas of Aleppo.
