Alwaght- the Saudi-based Syrian opposition has not yet elected new chief representative in the Geneva talks to replace Mohammed Alloush, who had resigned due to what he said as incompetence of UN-brokered negotiations to settle the conflict in the Arab country.
Mohammad Alloush, Chief negotiator of the so-called High Negotiations Committee (HNC) who is a senior figure within the Jaish al-Islam terror group rank called peace talks a “waste of time” and decided to leave his post on Sunday.
Jaish al-Islam is one of the Saudi-sponsored rebel groups operating to topple Syrian government.
Syrian government delegations, as well as three opposition groups have been taking part in the UN-mediated Geneva talks.
The latest round of intra-Syrian talks took place in Geneva on April 27 was incomplete after the opposition abandoned them and declared a "new war" on the Syrian government.
UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said this week there were no plans for new talks in the next three weeks.
Syria is in a critical state. There is a dire need for a cessation of hostilities, one that is actually respected by both sides so that humanitarian supplies can be delivered to those in need. However, with terrorist groups constantly violating such truces, Syria will unlikely see an end to the bloodshed. That’s why the only way out, many contend, is through a political solution that begins by ending terrorism.
