Syria rebels tell US they back a ceasefire, but voice concerns at deal
None
Syrian rebel groups wrote to the United States on Sunday, saying they would "cooperate positively" with a ceasefire but voicing deep concerns over details of the deal as relayed to them, the text of the letter as confirmed by two rebel officials said.
The letter said the agreement neglected besieged areas and called for aid to be taken to all such places without exception. It voiced concern that it was devoid of guarantees, monitoring mechanisms or sanctions for breaches.
It also expressed concern at clauses in the agreement indicating that Syrian government jets would not be barred from flying until up to nine days after the ceasefire had taken effect.
