The leaders of Syria's opposition delegation left Geneva yesterday after the group suspended its formal participation in troubled peace negotiations, the France 24 website reports today (April 20, 2016).
The coordinator of the main opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC), Riyad Hijab, told journalists he was leaving a day after the group put its participation at the talks on hold to protest escalating violence and restrictions on humanitarian access in Syria.
"We will not accept negotiations while our people are still suffering," Hijab said.
"It is not suitable, neither morally nor on the humanitarian side, to be part of negotiations when Syrians are dying daily from sieges, hunger, bombings, poisonous gases, and barrel bombs," he insisted.
