The Syrian opposition's chief negotiator on Sunday said there could be "no compromise" on Bashar al-Assad's ouster, as he called for renewed attacks on regime forces despite a truce.
Mohammed Alloush, a leading political figure in the Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) rebel group, is in Geneva as the senior negotiator of the High Negotiations Committee.
"There can be no compromise on the issue of Bashar al-Assad... For us, it's a closed book -- you cannot trade an entire people for one man," Alloush told AFP.
Alloush's Jaish al-Islam is party to the fragile ceasefire deal between Syria's government and non-jihadist rebel groups.
