Many formats for negotiations have failed and warring parties show no signs of exhaustion. Alliances and rivalries are increasingly liquid. Key players join forces on one issue and are at odds elsewhere. Hostilities are unlikely to cease even after the so-called \u201cIslamic State\u201d is defeated militarily.
