聯合國特使將會見敘官員 促實施停火

U.N. envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura is in Syria where he is due to hold talks Tuesday with officials on implementing a cease-fire this week.

聯合國敘利亞問題特使德米斯圖拉目前在敘利亞，他星期二將與敘利亞官員就本星期實施停火問題舉行會談。

He arrived late Monday in the Syrian capital, Damascus, for the unannounced visit.

德米斯圖拉星期一晚間抵達敘利亞首都大馬士革，這次訪問事先並未宣佈。

World powers agreed last week to a cessation of hostilities, set to begin Friday, in order to let badly needed humanitarian aid be delivered.

世界諸強國上星期就停止敘利亞境內的敵對活動達成一致，停火定於星期五開始，以便運送亟需的人道救援物資。

The cease-fire is meant to help make it possible to resume international peace talks that collapsed earlier this month in Geneva after just three days.

國際間希望實施停火有助於恢復敘利亞和談。本月早些時候，敘利亞和談在日內瓦只進行了3天即告破裂。

Since then, the violence has shown no signs of letting up. The Syrian government has continued an offensive backed by Russian airstrikes. A wide array of rebel groups also continue to fight in the country, each with different objectives and international backers.

此後，敘利亞境內的暴力沒有緩和的跡象。敘利亞政府繼續在俄羅斯空襲的支援下發動攻勢。各派反政府武裝組織也繼續在敘利亞戰鬥，每個組織都有不同的目標和外國支持者。

World powers have said they hope to resume peace talks by the end of the month.

世界諸強國表示，希望在本月底之前恢復和談。
