The first round of peace talks between Assad's regime and the rebels in Geneva ended in failure and they left with out even agreeing on how to end the blockade that is currently starving the civilians in the rebel held cities. The statistics are as follows:
200,000 to 240,000 civilians were cut off from aid in areas controlled by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, including eastern Ghouta, Muadamiya and parts of Homs. About 45,000 civilians were cut off from assistance in rebel-controlled areas, including several towns in northern Syria: Zahra, Nubol and Fua.
We do not know whether the two sides will come together to bring peace for the sake of the innocent lives that are caught in this conflict. No one deserves to live in fear of their neighbor, but rather embrace them as a friend.
