Just days after the peace talks regarding the Syrian civil war started, the UN announced its suspension and delaying it for a later date. According to BBC, the Syrian government and the opposition failed to agree on a common ground, with the Syrian government accusing the opposition of being manipulated by countries such as Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

However, Syria's opposition, also called the High Negotiations Committee (NHC), blamed the Syrian government over the failure of the peace talks and vowed not to participate until everything is settled. In his statement, NHC's chief coordinator Riad Hijab said, "The whole world sees who is making the negotiations fail. Who is bombing civilians and starving people to death."

UN's special envoy Staffan de Mistura insisted that the peace talks has not been declared a failure and will resume on Feb. 25. With several conditions cited at the Geneva peace talks, the opposition asked for the cease on siege warfare as well as the release of captives. Though the Syrian government didn't directly oppose the request, they stalled time by requesting supporting information.

Amid the supposed negotiations, the situation on the ground has not improved as Syrian military continues their siege, getting support from Russian bombers so the government can reclaim rebel-held territories.

The U.S. and Russia's participation on airstrikes has also caused tension and contributed to the peace talks' unsuccessful deliberation. State department spokesman John Kirby downplayed the allegation saying, "It is difficult in the extreme to see how strikes against civilian targets contribute in any way to the peace process now being explored."

Another BBC report says that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's supporters have also taken the limelight by battling those who didn't agree with his reign. The entry of the Islamic State in the scene added to the tension, displacing at least 250,000 families in the region.

The war in Syria has driven thousands of families from their own homes with a UN spokeswoman confirming hundreds who fled from Hayan, Rityan, Bayanoun, Hariyatan and Anadan. Basma Kodmani, a representative of the opposition and a member of the umbrella group said that the government's apparent attack on Aleppo merely states that they are not in for any type of negotiation. She said that they are only trying to send the message: "There is nothing to negotiate. Just go home."

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the allegiance of Russia by commanding airstrikes to back the siege.
