On today's episode of Loud & Clear, host Brian Becker is joined by Zafar Bangash of the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought to discuss the announcement by the U.S. and Russia that they are “re-doubling” their efforts to achieve peace in Syria, as well as the pledge to reinstate a country-wide ceasefire. This comes as fighting rages on in Syria’s largest city of Aleppo, even as the local ceasefire has been extended for 48 hours.
