UN envoy holds talks with Syrian opposition negotiators in Saudi
United Nations’ Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan De Mistura, held talks with Syrian opposition negotiator Riyad Hijab on Saturday (March 18) in Saudi Arabia.

De Mistura has been trying to mediate a political agreement between Syria’s warring sides, and after a procedural round of talks in Geneva ended on March 3, he plans to bring the negotiators back for in-depth discussions on March 23.

So far talks to end Assad war, which has killed hundreds of thousands, driven 5 million into neighbouring countries and left 13.5 million in urgent need of humanitarian aid, have gone almost nowhere.

De Mistura arrived in Riyadh late on Friday (March 17) and is not expected to meet any Saudi officials.
