The Geneva talks, endorsed by the UN Security Council scheduled for Jan. 25 are part of an international bid to end the five-year conflict that has killed an estimated 250,000 people.

Opposition leaders are voicing misgivings over the new effort endorsed by the U.N. Security Council, not least because it does not address Assad's future, a point of contention between states on either side of the war.
