{{Key Syrian Islamist rebel groups say they do not recognise any foreign-based opposition group, including the Syrian National Coalition.}}<\/p>\n

“The National Coalition and the proposed government under [recently chosen] Ahmad Tomeh does not represent us, nor do we recognise it,” 13 of Syria’s most powerful rebel groups said in a joint statement late on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The groups include members of the main rebel Free Syrian Army, as well as Liwa al-Tawhid, the main rebel force in the northern province of Aleppo, and Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda-linked group.<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council blacklisted al-Nusra Front as an alias of al-Qaeda in Iraq in May, while the US State Department had designated the group as a terrorist organisation in December last year.<\/p>\n

Ahrar al-Sham also signed on, as did the 19th Division, a significant but relatively new addition to the mainstream FSA.<\/p>\n

In their statement, they also called for Islamic law to be applied.<\/p>\n

“These forces call on all military and civilian groups to unite in a clear Islamic context that… is based on sharia [Islamic] law, making it the sole source of legislation,” it said.<\/p>\n

They called for “unity” and “to reject division… putting the interest of the [Islamic] nation over the interest of each group”.<\/p>\n
