The Syrian opposition figure tasked with forming an interim government to administer rebel-held areas has resigned, citing an inability to do so.In a statement, Ghassan Hitto said he would "continue working for the interests of the revolution".His decision follows a leadership overhaul by the National Coalition.Ahmed Jarba was named leader of the main opposition alliance on Saturday as Saudi-backed candidates defeated those allied with Qatar in several elections.On Monday, Mr Jarba warned that there was a "real humanitarian disaster" in the central city of Homs and said he was prepared to offer President Bashar al-Assad a truce during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to stop the fighting there.As government forces continued an offensive on opposition-held districts of Homs, state media said the army had killed "terrorists" in several areas, including Bab Houd in the Old City and several outlying towns.
