Syria rejects UN's self-rule plan for Aleppo
The Syrian government has rejected the United Nations' proposal to end fighting in the city of Aleppo, Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said on Sunday. Under the plan, the rebel-held eastern Aleppo would remain under rebel control if they withdrew their fighters from Aleppo, reports said. The proposal is a violation of "national sovereignty", Syria's government said.
