U.S. and Russia announce ceasefire plan in Syria civil war

The United States and Russia have announced a plan to bring about a ceasefire in Syria, US Secretary of State John Kerry said. “Today we are announcing an arrangement that we think has the capability of sticking, but it’s dependent on people’s choices,” Kerry said Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, appearing alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Kerry said the pact calls for the Syrian government and the opposition to respect a nationwide ceasefire scheduled to take effect at sundown Monday.
