Violence continued across Syria on Monday with around 100 people reportedly killed, most of them civilians. Unverified video shows what appear to be the bodies of 20 blindfolded Syrian soldiers after they were executed in Aleppo. Speaking in Cairo on Monday, the new U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said he will be making his first visit to Syria in the coming days. Brahimi said expectations of progress should be kept to a minimum.

Lakhdar Brahimi: “We shouldn’t expect miracles. There are no miracles. And also that our approach is based on the fact that we are looking only to the interest of the people of Syria, and we will try to help the people of Syria and nobody else.”
