De Mistura to Step Down at End of November after 4 Years in Role

World

UNITED NATIONS- United Nations Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura told the Security Council on Wednesday that he plans to step down at the end of November after more than four years in the role.

The diplomat cited personal reasons for his decision, Reuters reports, according to RT.

He is the third person to hold the job during more than seven years of crisis in Syria.

 His predecessors – former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan and veteran Algerian diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi – both quit frustrated by global deadlock over how to end settlement in Syria.

According to Reuters, diplomats said possible replacements for de Mistura included U.N. Iraq envoy Jan Kubis, former Algerian foreign minister Ramtane Lamamra, U.N. Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov and Norway’s Ambassador to China Geir Pedersen.
