UN and Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said Monday during a visit to Cairo that he faces a “very difficult mission” in conflict-stricken Syria, as he prepared to visit Damascus.
“I realise it’s a very difficult mission, but I think it is not my right to refuse to give whatever assistance I can to the Syrian people,” Brahimi told reporters after talks with Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi.
“I will go to Damascus in a few days and I will meet officials and civil society members in the capital and outside,” Brahimi said.
