For those of you who have been following the Syrian conflict you already know about the Geneva ll convention and how there are no reports of progress coming out of it. The government and the opposition still refuse to talk to each other directly. They act like little children and ignore the human suffering that their ignorance still causes. It is clear that the government does not care much about it's people. They continued to kill them by the hundreds every month. They are starving women and children in the besieged areas.
On the other hand the opposition is getting weaker by the minute, the fighting between them makes the government stronger. They are not in a position to get much out of negotiations but they still act like they have the upper hand. How do they expect Assad to agree to step down while he is winning the war? They have to step back to reality and have feasible demands that will put the welfare of the Syrians first, before power of running the country.
For sometime now the Syrian conflict has been played like a game if Chase. The government knew the best way to winning the conflict is to deface the opposition. This was the reason they freed all suspected terrorists in the beginning if the war knowing the will regroup and try to take on the state. Once that became true, it has ensured no Western state will pick up arms in support of the opposition as they will be supporting Al Qaeda affiliated groups. That move was very smart on Assad's government, but to what costs? People of Syria have been reduced to pieces on the board game and their life worth less than that of cockroaches, just waiting to be crushed.
