adminGENEVA. – The latest round of Syria peace talks has made little progress, international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said yesterday, calling on the government and the opposition to stop the “nightmare” of the civil war. “The beginning of this week is as laborious as it was the first week,” Brahimi told reporters after the warring sides held their first face-to-face talks since the second round of negotiations opened on Monday.
“We are not making much progress.”
The new round of the so-called Geneva II talks got off to a shaky start on Monday and there was little sign that Tuesday’s face-to-face meeting had seen more than a restating of positions.
The opposition says the only way to end the three-year conflict is to form a transitional government – AFP.
