Osama Abu Zeid, a legal adviser of the Free Syrian Army, said that the ceasefire in Syria was on the verge of collapse and the FSA may withdraw from the negotiation process.

"Intensity of ceasefire violations by the regime is increasing, particularly in Aleppo, from the southern suburbs, where Iranian and Afghan fighters get together... This decision [to exit the negotiation process] requires consideration, perhaps the Free Syrian Army leadership will summit to decide whether or not to continue to participate in the negotiations," Osama Abu Zeid said.

He added that these violations and failure to comply with the humanitarian provisions can lead to the collapse of the truce in the war-torn country.


Comment: The Former Syrian Al-Qaeda Free Syrian Army is a lie and a joke. FSA routinely works together with al-Nusra. Abu Zeid provides no evidence for "regime" ceasefire violations, just his own say-so. It's easy enough to claim the Syrian Army is violating the ceasefire when they attack al-Nusra, who is not a party to the truce.


Syrian Opposition Could Create United Delegation Before Next Geneva Talks

"The United Nations is moving toward the creation of a unified opposition delegation, which will consist of 5 members of the HNC, a delegate from the Moscow group, one delegate from the Cairo group, one delegate from the Astana group, a delegate from Hmeimim, another one from the civil society, one from the representatives of the Syrian women and three patriotic activists — Ahmed Djerba, Maaziah Moaz Khatib, and Burhan Latrine," the source said.


Comment: In other words, 5 Saudi stooges. Are they trying to stack the deck? Looks like it, based on the response from the opposition group formed at the Russian Hmeymim base...


Hmeymim Group Propose Unified Syrian Opposition of Five Members Each

Syria's opposition group formed at the Hmeimim air facility in Syria would take part in a united opposition delegation if at least five of its members were permitted to join, the head of Hmeymim group delegation to the Geneva talks, Ilian Masaad, told Sputnik on Sunday.

"If there are five people from the Riyadh group, five from the Moscow-Cairo group, and five from us, then we are ready. We will not accept any other offers. This is final," Masaad said. Masaad added that he had not heard of the proposal to form a unified opposition delegation before.


Comment: Rumors are that a Kurdish delegate may also be accepted.
