Kofi Annan, the international mediator on the Syrian crisis, has announced he will quit at the end of this month. Five months ago, Mr Annan took the role of joint special envoy for Syria in order to seek a peaceful solution to the crisis, help end killings of civillians and human rights abuses and moot a path towards a political transition.
In what was deemed by many as “Mission Impossible”, Annan worked tirelessly to help the Syrian people find a peaceful solution to the bloody conflict that has been going on for over one year. More than 20,000 people – mostly unarmed civilians – have died in 17 months of unrest.
