Syrian opposition regroups as another round of talks crashes
The Syrian opposition is mulling its next moves after the faltering of yet another round of talks of the Syrian Constitutional Committee.
IDLIB, Syria — The United Nations' special envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, called the fifth round of talks by the Syrian Constitutional Committee in Geneva a “disappointment” Jan. 29.
“I told the 45 members of the drafting body that we can’t continue like this, that the week has been a disappointment. I set out a few things I thought we should be able to achieve before we started this meeting, and I am afraid we did not manage to achieve these things. I believe the reason for that is that there has not been a proper understanding on how we are going to make progress in the committee,” Pederson said.
