叙利亚政府和反对阿萨德总统阵营的代表在日内瓦即将举行第二轮和谈。
 
星期一,联合国 - 阿拉伯国家联盟特使卜拉希米正在斡旋恢复谈判。这轮会谈延续上个月的首轮会谈。首轮会谈几乎没有取得进展,但卜拉希米称之为建设基础的“适度开端”。
 
双方在多方面问题上都存在很大分歧,从建立可能的过渡政府问题到允许向被围困地区运送人道主义援助。
 
饱受战争摧残的霍姆斯平民的处境是首轮谈判的部分议题。上周,叙利亚与联合国达成了三天停火协议,以允许援助进入这座城市。
 
霍姆斯市长巴拉兹说, 星期日从反政府力量控制地区疏散了600人。联合国和叙利亚红新月会工作人员营救了这一大批人。
 
尽管如此,目击者说,一些试图离开这个城市的妇女和儿童被迫击炮弹炸死或炸伤。
 
Delegates from Syria's government and the opposition to President Bashar al-Assad are in Geneva for a second round of peace talks.

U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi is mediating the negotiations resuming Monday.  The talks follow an initial round last month that ended with little progress, but one that Brahimi called "a modest beginning" to build on.

Wide gaps remain on issues ranging from a potential transitional government to access for humanitarian aid in besieged areas.

The status of civilians in war-battered Homs was part of the initial round of talks, and last week Syria reached a three-day cease-fire agreement with the United Nations to allow aid into the city.

The governor of Homs, Talal Barazi, said 600 people were evacuated Sunday from rebel-held areas.  Workers from the United Nations and Syrian Red Crescent rescued the large group.

Even so, eyewitness accounts said a number of women and children trying to leave the city were killed and wounded after being hit by mortar shells.
