The UN special envoy to Syria has warned that unless the country gets urgent support, it could be plunged back into conflict.
Geir Pedersen called for free and fair elections in Syria, and urged for humanitarian assistance to the country more than a week on from the downfall of President Assad.
Bashar al-Assad’s regime was overthrown less than two weeks ago by a rebel coalition led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, known as HTS.
HTS is designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN, the US, the EU, the UK and others.
