UN - Muslimchronicle
Staffan de Mistura Special Envoy for Syria, praised Saudi efforts to unify the Syrian opposition, on Wednesday.
The UN envoy said, although the violence continues in Syria, efforts are also made to reduce it, pointing out to a significant decline in the level of violence in many areas.
De Mistura said a meeting for the parties involved in the Syrian conflict is set to be held in Geneva next October.
He stressed that the Syrian regime must be aware that it needs to engage in serious and genuine negotiations, as opposed to the tendency of the Syrian regime to pursue a military solution.
Stephen O'Brien, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, urged the conflicting parties in Syria to protect civilians and the infrastructure.
O'Brien added that although the aerial bombardment is less since the signing of the truce agreement in Idlib, the situation is still worrying.
He stressed that all evidence will be presented to prosecute all those involved in crimes against humanity.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
