Five years after the conflict in Syria began with protests against Bashar al-Assad in southern city of Deraa, a fragile truce that came into effect on 27 February is holding in many areas of the country.
Although violations continue to be reported by all sides, these last nine days have been the quietest that most Syrians have seen in years.
