The US and Russia have announced a
breakthrough agreement on Syria that foresees a
nationwide ceasefire starting early next week.
The ceasefire will be followed by an unlikely new
military partnership between the rival
governments targeting Islamic State and al Qaida.
At a joint news conference after a marathon day
of negotiations, US secretary of state John Kerry
said the plan can reduce violence in Syria and
lead to a long-sought political transition, ending
more than five years of bloodshed.
He called the deal a potential "turning point" in
the conflict, if implemented by Syria's Russian-
backed government and US-supported rebel
groups.
The ceasefire begins at sundown Monday, Mr
Kerry said, coinciding with the Muslim Eid al-
Adha holiday.
"Today the United States and Russia are
announcing a plan which we hope will reduce
violence, ease suffering and resume movement
toward a negotiated peace and a political
transition in Syria," Mr Kerry said. "We are
announcing an arrangement that we think has the
capability of sticking, but it is dependent on
people's choices."
"It has the ability to stick, provided the regime
and the opposition both meet their obligations,
which we - and we expect other supporting
countries - will strongly encourage them to do,"
he added.
Mr Kerry's negotiating partner, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov, confirmed the agreement
and said it could help expand the counter
terrorism fight and aid deliveries to Syrian
civilians under UN auspices that have been
stalled for weeks.
"This is just the beginning of our new relations,"
Mr Lavrov said.
He said Syrian President Bashar Assad's
government was informed of the accord, and was
prepared to comply.
Mr Kerry added: "The United States is going the
extra mile here because we believe that Russia,
and my colleague, have the capability to press the
Assad regime to stop this conflict and to come to
the table and make peace."
Mr Kerry outlined several steps the government
and rebels would have to take. They must now
pull back from demilitarised zones, and allow
civilian traffic and humanitarian deliveries -
notably into the divided city of Aleppo where as
many as 500,000 people have been killed in
fighting.
"If Aleppo is at peace, we believe that the
prospects for a diplomatic solution will brighten,"
he said. "If Aleppo continues to be torn apart, the
prospects for Syria and its people are grim."
The deal ends months of frenetic diplomacy that
included four meetings between Mr Kerry and Mr
Lavrov since August 26.
The arrangement hinges on Moscow pressuring
Assad's government to halt all offensive
operations against Syria's armed opposition and
civilian areas. Washington must persuade
"moderate" rebels to break ranks with the Nusra
Front, al Qaida's Syria affiliate, and other
extremist groups.
Both sides have failed to deliver their ends of the
bargain over several previous truces, but the new
arrangement goes further by promising a new
US-Russian counter-terrorism alliance, only a
year after President Barack Obama chastised
Russia for a military intervention that US officials
said was mainly designed to keep Assad in
power and target more moderate anti-Assad
forces.

i was wondering about this a few days ago when a i saw a photo of a live encounter which was posted here.

the gunner is not in immediate danger because he is behind the gun shield , but what about the driver ?
in a frontal attack the driver is most vulnerable , and they also know it , i wonder at their courage .
it surely takes lots of guts.

respect to these drivers.

Makes me wonder why we have fully armed military personnels sometimes with government owned APCs providing VIP escort duties to civilians and corporate bodies.
The police needs to step up and take up small internal policing duties entirely

bidexiii:


Even in developed countries they would not call the police, they will rather call the national guard in case of the United States.

Odunayaw:
oga Sir..u r not getting me
SA uses it's STF for dx kinda things
what is our MOPOL+CTU doing

bidexiii:


They are not even well equipped to face Niger delta militancy and they are not trained for such terrain.

andrewza:



STF or MOPOL

bidexiii:


both .

considering the creeck terrain.......,?

andrewza:



Not sure about MOPL but STF have access to helicopters, APC, Boats in short any thing any special forces unit has access to they have access to. In the 70s and 80s there was Koevoet a police unit created to deal with heavily armed terrorists I don't see why Nigeria has not created a police unit to deal with theses guys.




Koevoet and yes they cops not miltary

Henry240:


They were also black Koevoet members? I thought the Koevoet was an all white special police unit?

The hostage takers when the STF was created were going to be military trained guerrillas.
