INDEPENDENT - The two sides in Syria’s civil war are talking, Apr 15, 2013

"A new video uploaded by a group of rebel fighters in Darayya appears to show a dialogue of sorts between the Syrian regime and the opposition. While not quite the high-level discussions needed to bring an end to the fighting, the exchange nevertheless gives a fascinating insight into the thinking of both sides. The scene takes place on the front lines in Darayya – a suburb of Damascus that has seen some of the heaviest fighting in the country. A correspondent working for Russia Today recently referred to it as “Syria’s Stalingrad”. The camera follows a rebel fighter as he makes his way through a gutted, sand-bagged building occupied by both government soldiers and rebel fighters. No man’s land is a staircase, and like in many other contested areas across the country the gap between the two sides is small enough so that they can shout to each other. A conversation is underway between one of the rebels and what appears to be a government soldier, who is out of shot."
