UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations-sponsored talks between the Syrian government and opposition aiming at ending the three-year civil war resumed in Geneva on Monday, 10 days after a first round concluded with little progress, a UN spokesman told reporters here.

"The second round of the intra-Syrian talks started this morning in Geneva," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said at a daily news briefing here, adding that UN-Arab League Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi met with the delegation of the Syrian opposition headed by its chief negotiator, Hedi Albahra, and subsequently with the Syrian government delegation led by its chief negotiator Bashar al Ja'fari, who is Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations.
