HANGZHOU, China -- The U.S. and Russia are near completing a groundbreaking deal that involves military and intelligence cooperation to fight al Qaeda and ISIS-linked terrorists in Syria. That is in exchange for Russia agreeing to pressure Syrian dictator Bashar al- Assad to stop bombing civilians and allow in humanitarian aid to all starving areas.
The potential deal would ground Assad’s own air force to prevent it from continuing its bombing and chemical attacks on civilians and U.S.-backed rebels. In turn, food and medical aid deliveries will be allowed into besieged cities like Aleppo, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have been trapped due to the joint assaults by Syrian and Russian forces.
U.S., Russia near groundbreaking deal on Syria
It is interesting whether this deal will be struck and how viable it will turn out to be. It is clear that no deal can be taken serious unless it resolves three main issues: transition government as a whole and Assad’s fate in particular; Aleppo; political autonomy of main ethnic and religious groups.
