The International Red Cross has been trying to negotiate a temporary cease-fire in Syria. They’re urging everyone to stop fighting for two hours each day so that aid can be delivered into different cities. A spokesperson says the negotiations haven’t gotten anywhere so far, but they are planning to keep trying. Voting, meanwhile, started Sunday on possible changes to Syria’s constitution. Syrian officials say it’s one way they’re working to reform their government. That’s something that protesters have demanded. But those protesters and many analysts say the voting is purely superficial. They argue it’s only designed to quiet critics and that it really won’t change anything. |
