The Arab League’s chief Nabil Elarby says that Geneva 2, the next round of Syria peace talks, has been set for November 23-24, the same date presented by Syrian government officials.
Top officials from the US and Russia have insisted that no date has been finalized, and UN Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi’s comments today suggest why that would be.
Brahimi insisted that the talks would be impossible to hold “without a credible opposition” presence. The Syrian rebellion is splinted among half a dozen different umbrella groups and scores of other unaffiliated factions, and not a single one has agreed to attend the peace talks.
That’s been the story all along, as Geneva 2 was initially supposed to happen in June, and never did because the rebels refused to participate. The rebel factions are all the more splintered now, and while officials are hoping to kickstart the talks, the late November date seems very tentative, and without a big change from the rebels it’s hard to see how it will actually happen.
How can a bunch of US/Saudi/Qatari criminal merchenaries be a Credible Opposition ???
They are nothing but criminals or religious fanatics created, trained and paid and armed by USA/NATO; Arab league. (See chapter starting with "Hillary Clinton. "we created Al Qaeda" the link below)
This headline is pure fraud and shows the role of the UN as propaganda tool of the North Atlantic Terror organization NATO. Of course the want to cancel peace talks – they want war as planned long before – see the first two videos and texts here as proof: http://08oo.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/key-reasons-…
There wasn't such thing as a creditable opposition and is not going to be such representative. The government of Syria is the legitimate and only one, there are however those representing the Saudis and UAE mercenaries and barbarians, perhaps is about time for those regime supporting them, or those who supports their masters to come to their senses and think again that Syria is not Yugoslavia, Syria is not Libya but it will be another Vietnam for the western civilization to think about, that Syria will be the graveyard of Saudis and UAE illegitimate sons and their barbarians. Stop supporting the enemy of the people, stop supporting the slavers of the mankind, the Stone Age dictatorial regime, stop supporting the Saudis, the Wahhabis, stop flying their airlines as fly Emirats, etihad, air Berlin, you do that you are supporting their terrorists in Syria and elsewhere.
