Brahimi: still no decision on evacuation of women, children from Homs

GENEVA: The Syrian government and opposition negotiators have so far come to no agreement on the besieged Syrian city of Homs, the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States for the Syrian Crisis, Lakhdar Brahimi, said at a news conference in Geneva on Monday, January 27.

“I told you yesterday that there was an agreement by the government that women and children can come out of Old City in Homs, I think they still discussing how that can be done. I think that the government is willing to make it happen, but it is not easy because there are snipers and there are all sorts of problems,” Brahimi said.
