VOA – Syrian government forces continued to conduct military operations across large swathes of the country Friday, less than a week before a U.N.-backed cease-fire is to take effect. Anti-government opposition groups, meanwhile, held protests in more than a dozen towns and cities after Friday prayers.
Opposition videos showed hundreds of protesters demonstrating in Syria’s northern commercial capital of Aleppo Friday despite the presence of government security forces.
