国际和会调停叙利亚冲突，阿萨德前途未卜

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.

卜拉希米将分别会见各方，并讨论如何进行下一步的直接谈判。这些会谈原定周五开始，但卜拉希米周三在期待已久的和平会议开幕后表示，分别举行的会谈可能会继续。

他还表示，有“相当清楚的迹象”显示，政府和反对派准备讨论提供人道主义便利、释放囚犯和实行地方性的停火。

展开和平努力的第一天，有40多个代表团聚集在瑞士城市蒙特勒，同时在关于阿萨德总统在叙利亚的前途问题上出现了尖锐的分歧。
