International Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi will step down from the role on May 31, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday. For more than a year, Brahimi has made no secret that he is contemplating stepping down from the post as the United Nations and Arab League joint special representative on Syria. Brahimi is due to brief the UN Security Council later on Tuesday. (Reuters)
