Kofi Annan (a U.N. rep. at large) has brought the Assad Government to accept a cease fire on April 10th. Since there is only one regular government in Syria that means that the government will leave some of the cities it has been pummelling for a while and allow 'humanitarian' goods and personnel too perhaps to reinforce the rebel movement's health and welfare status.

Recently select Gulf Nations and the U.S. Government (the 'Friends of Syria') decided to pay the rebels wages and provide material assistance. A Washington Post headline called it a possible "blank check for Syrian opposition".

The friends except for the U.S.A. might be providing military help too. There is no word presently about what effect that will have on the cease fire.
