London 29 Nov (ANA) - The fall of rebel-held eastern Aleppo would not mean the end of the fight against President Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian opposition's senior negotiator has told the BBC. George Sabra added, however, that it would make any hope of a peace deal more difficult. Syrian forces backed by heavy air strikes have seized more than a third of rebel-held territory in the city. Rebel factions say they have pulled back to a more defensible front line. Thousands of civilians have fled besieged districts of Aleppo after heavy fighting over the weekend.(ANA)
