As the US mainstream media
obsessed last week about Russia's supposed “hacking” of the US elections and
President Obama’s final round of Russia sanctions in response, something very
important was taking place under the media radar. As a result of a meeting
between foreign ministers of Russia, Iran, and Turkey last month, a ceasefire in
Syria has been worked out and is being implemented. So far it appears to be
holding, and after nearly six years of horrible warfare the people of Syria are
finally facing the possibility of rebuilding their lives.
What is so
important about this particular ceasefire?
