The Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation jointly appealed Tuesday to warring parties in Syria to observe a cease-fire during next week's feast of Eidul-Fitr. In their statement, the Arab League's Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi and his OIC counterpart Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu appealed for "a cease-fire and a cessation of violence in all its forms for the duration of the holy Eid holiday".
They said such a cease-fire would give "the Syrian people the chance to celebrate this important religious occasion, and to perform its rituals in peace and security".
