Why would the secular Alawite Syrian government want a cease fire to celebrate Ramadan? The Baath Part and al-Assad could care less if it was Ramadan or the Chinese New Year. The primarily Suuni Free Syrian Army knows this better than anyone. That and only that is why you won’t see the cease fire happen.
This is a ploy by Assad to get the FSA to back off for a bit. He’ll continue to mass forces and get resupplied by Iran and Russia. When the FSA realizes it they’ll attack his massing forces breaking the cease fire. It’s a good move by Assad…but it’ll never happen. The FSA isn’t that dumb.
