Syria crisis: Kofi Annan quits as UN-Arab League envoy
Published: 2nd Aug 2012 15:56:52
The UN's special envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, is leaving the post, the UN has announced.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Mr Annan had decided not to renew his mandate when it expires at the end of August.
Mr Annan authored a six-point peace plan for Syria which was intended to bring an end to the fighting.
But the plan was never fully adhered to by either side and the violence has continued.
