DW: Rebel groups in Syria suspend talks about peace negotiations
Syrian rebel groups have announced they are suspending talks about planned peace negotiations this month in the Kazakh capital, Astana. The rebels have blamed "violations" of the four-day old ceasefire deal.
After what rebels have described as "violations" of the current ceasefire, 10 non-jihadi rebel groups said Monday they have refused to participate in further talks about planned peace negotiations with the Syrian government.
"The regime and its allies have continued firing and committed many and large violations," read the statement, which was signed mostly by rebel groups under the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) umbrella.
