Kofi Annan to visit Syria
International peace mediator Kofi Annan will visit Syria "soon," his spokesman told Reuters on Friday, in what would be the former U.N. Secretary-General's first visit since he presented his peace plan to Syria's government in early March, the Reuters reports.
Ahmad Fawzi declined to give details or specify the date, citing security reasons. Fawzi has repeatedly said that Annan, whose six-week-old ceasefire plan has failed to stop the violence in Syria, would travel to the country when the time was right.
U.N. envoys said on Thursday that Annan may travel to Syria before the end of the month.
