Although Russia, Iran and Turkey have agreed to establish a new Syrian constitution committee, the talks didn’t provide any other breakthrough. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government and the opposition have each submitted their nominees. But the main external players – Russia, Iran and Turkey – are haggling over the final 50 members. All three powers backed different sides in the long war, and want those parties represented in the committee. And the committee is the final push from UN Syria peace envoy Staffan de Mistura before he steps down on Dec. 31, after four years of work. CGTN’s Alaa Ebrahim tells us the reaction to the talks from both government and the opposition and how the Syrian people view De Mistura’s efforts.
