Misery...

After months of fighting to encircle its opponents in Aleppo, Syrian authorities backed by Russia  offered safe corridors out for residents and rebels in the northern city's besieged quarters, underlining the government's determination to seal off the metropolis and force an eventual surrender by the opposition.

The encirclement of rebel-held eastern Aleppo sets the stage for a drawn-out siege with potentially huge implications for the future of the armed opposition to President Bashar Assad. The military continued to consolidate its grip, seizing a district on the northern edge of the city.

On the other hand, a representative announce "We declare the complete cancellation of all operations under the name of Jabhat al-Nusra, and the formation of a new organisation with no affiliation to any external entity," .

The supposed breakup comes less than two weeks after Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States and Russia had agreed to cooperate in Syria against al Nusra in an effort to "restore the cessation of hostilities, significantly reduce the violence.

This war went full circle with a terrible outcome and plenty of misery to the Syrian people and the expansion of migrants problems. Let us get out.   Just a thought.
