Terms of 48-hour Aleppo truce still to be negotiated – Western envoy
Aleppo has been divided between a rebel-held east and regime-controlled west since fighting erupted in mid-2012.

“I made a decision to use my privilege as chair to declare that there was no sense to have a humanitarian meeting today unless we got some action on the humanitarian side in Syria”, de Mistura said.
Speaking at a press conference in the Swiss city of Geneva on Thursday, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said that he had chose to stop the meeting after just eight minutes, arguing it made “no sense” to plan aid deliveries when they would not be let into the humanitarian besieged areas.
The Russian military says it’s ready to back a United Nations call for weekly 48-hour cease-fires to allow humanitarian aid deliveries to the embattled Syrian city of Aleppo.
The Russian Defense Ministry says the Tu-22M3 and the Su-34 bombers flew from bases in Russia and Iran on Thursday to target the Islamic State group’s facilities in Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour. And why? Because of one thing: fighting.
According to the diplomat, rebel-held eastern parts of Aleppo are besieged and western Aleppo is on track of becoming so.
Escalating violence there, where Russian Federation and Iran are supporting bombing campaigns against the rebels, some of whom are backed by Arab and Western powers, has caused the breakdown of Geneva peace talks overseen by de Mistura.
Otherwise, Haq said, “there’s no point in holding the talks”.
