國際和會調停敘利亞衝突，阿薩德前途未卜

U.N.-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi is due to meet Thursday in Geneva with representatives of the Syrian government and opposition, as he tries to mediate an end to nearly three years of deadly violence.

Brahimi will meet separately with each side and discuss how to proceed to the next step of direct negotiations. Those talks were scheduled to begin Friday, but Brahimi said Wednesday after the opening of a long-awaited peace conference that the separate meetings may continue.

He also said there are "fairly clear indications" that the government and opposition are prepared to talk about humanitarian access, freeing prisoners and establishing local cease-fires.

The first day of the peace effort brought together More than 40 delegations to the Swiss city of Montreux, and was marked by a sharp divide over President Bashar al-Assad's future in Syria.聯合國-阿拉伯聯盟和平特使卜拉希米週四將在日內瓦會見敘利亞政府和反對派的雙方代表。他正在試圖進行調解，以結束將近三年的造成嚴重死傷的暴力。

卜拉希米將分別會見各方，並討論如何進行下一步的直接談判。這些會談原定週五開始，但卜拉希米週三在期待已久的和平會議開幕後表示，分別舉行的會談可能會繼續。

他還表示，有“相當清楚的跡象”顯示，政府和反對派準備討論提供人道主義便利、釋放囚犯和實行地方性的停火。

展開和平努力的第一天，有40多個代表團聚集在瑞士城市蒙特勒，同時在關於阿薩德總統在敘利亞的前途問題上出現了尖銳的分歧。
