Kofi Annan Resigns

Kofi Annan has resigned as the UN's special peace envoy to Syria.

Annan points to the inability of the international community to agree upon how to act, as one of the reasons that peace has failed.

The divisions of the rebel forces in Syria, also got in his way of trying to make peace happen.

Syria's President Assad repeatedly hampered efforts, as he would agree to them, but not act towards peace.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has begun the search for Annan's replacement.

Mr. Annan did not comment on his thoughts towards who would, or should, replace him; he will serve in his post through the end of August.
