On Friday, Lakhdar Brahimi, the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy
for Syria, met with Russian and United States diplomats with the goal of
finding a political solution to Syria’s conflict. Brahimi met with Russian
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State
William Burns. The conflict in Syria began in March 2011 with peaceful protests
against the Assad family dynasty. But an intense crackdown and armed rebel
opposition created civil war in the country. 60,000 people have been killed in
the war so far. All international efforts to end the war have not worked.
Friday’s meeting will hopefully lead to peace, but this conference coincided
with ground action in Syria during which Islamic militants took full control of
a strategic northwestern base. This seizure was part of the rebels’ campaign to
topple the Syrian government’s air supremacy.

This is a very serious problem. Hopefully, the meeting will help to resolve some of Syria's problems.
