Rim Turkmani, the head of Madani and chief author of the report, said it was undertaken to address various misconceptions about local ceasefire measures. First, there is a conception that the Syrians are only killing each other, but on the ground you find people taking huge risks to build peace, she told AFP. Second, there is this perception that everyone is against any negotiations with the regime when, from the very beginning, there have been talks between the most extreme elements, she said. Third, there is a sense that what is happening on the ground is slightly irrelevant and the focus is on top-level talks. But nothing can change without agreements on the ground. dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2828500/Local-ceasefires-best-hope-Syria-report-says.html
