(Newswire.net — September 1, 2016) — Marathon talks between U.S. and Russia last weekend in Geneva failed and the brutal war in Syria continues.
After 10 hours of negotiation between U.S. Secretary of State Jim Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, no plan for ending the war in Syria was made, however, some serious accusations were exchanged.
According to Lavrov, the fundamental problem is that the US remains in denial about its role in fueling the war by sponsoring “terrorist fractions” that fight Syrian government troops.
Kerry, on the other side, tells Russia that the main obstacle in ending war is supporting the “Syrian Dictator” Assad who resists democracy in Syria.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have mutual respect and good relations despite their opposite stands, the two world powers will continue to search for ways to end the bloodshed in Syria.
Global networks of arms traders, oil smuggling and military intelligence all testify to systematic state sponsorship of terrorism in Syria, Russia Today reports.
According to Russia Today, part of the logistical problem in implementing a ceasefire in Syria is the ongoing failure by the US to provide any distinction between terrorist groups and militia that it claims are “moderate rebels”.
While Washington accuses Russia of attacking the rebels more than IS troops, Moscow said that the U.S. has not or cannot provide Russia with any maps or locations showing where its “moderate” militias are.
This was recognized as the main reason the ceasefire called in February fell apart. As Syrian government forces and their Russian ally attack troops internationally recognized as al Qaeda-linked terrorist brigades, U.S. accuses Syria and Russia of targeting “moderate” insurgents.
Meanwhile, thousands have died and millions have fled to EU, invoking the largest migration crisis with harsh economical and political cnsequences all over the continent.
