Rebel group declares Syria ceasefire ‘buried’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of a Turkey-based Syrian opposition group says that the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad has effectively “buried” the cessation of hostilities with its continuous attacks across the country.
Anas al-Abda, the leader of the Syrian National Coalition, says at a press conference Wednesday there will be no quick return to peace talks in Geneva if the current situation continues.
He also warns that the peace negotiations may “collapse completely.”
The ceasefire agreement in place since September 27 has all but collapsed amid fierce fighting in Syria’s north.
The opposition delegation to the talks in Geneva suspended its participation in protest although it kept a small technical team there.
