Syrian government chief negotiator Bashar Ja'afari met with the UN special envoy to Syria on Friday, with most members of the opposition having left Geneva. The HNC, which brings together a range of political and military elements, on Monday postponed indefinitely formal negotiations. Laying the blame on President Bashar Assad's camp, it said that a fragile truce was effectively over after a surge in violence and lack of progress on humanitarian deliveries.
