A lot has happened in the international realm during the past couple of months. In Africa, mediators continue to advocate for the negotiation of a peace deal in South Sudan, pressing for a cease-fire as government troops fight for control over the last rebel-held town. In the Middle-East, the Friends of Syria alliance has been met with further difficulties in unifying rebel groups, despite the fact that the first direct talks between President Bashar Al-Assad’s government and the opposition are scheduled to commence in Geneva on the 22 January 2014.
