UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi is pushing "extremely hard" for a ceasefire in Syria and will brief the UN Security Council on Wednesday on his efforts, the UN spokesman said. By David R Arnott, NBC NewsAs we edited our slideshow on the conflict in Syria today, the picture above made us pause. The scene looked familiar. Checking back through the hundreds of pictures wire agencies have transmitted from Aleppo over recent weeks, we found out why: We had seen this street before, 39 days earlier.    Marco Longari / AFP - Getty ImagesSeptember 14: A man carrying grocery bags tries to dodge sniper fire as he runs through an alley near a checkpoint manned by the Free Syrian Army in the northern city of Aleppo. Syrian regime forces used fighter jets and helicopter gunships to pound the city and province of Aleppo, monitors said. Some tell-tale details remain the same. The red traffic sign on the right has the same small scratch across its band of white. The same green and red graffiti is just about visible on a distant wall. But in the intervening weeks, other things have changed. Rubble is piled up on the left of the frame, where an intact wall and sidewalk was previously visible. And while desperate civilians continue to risk the dangerous path across this piece of open ground, a long piece of cloth has been hung from one side of the street to the other, in an attempt to block the view of snipers.
