Moaz al-Khatib, the outgoing president of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) burst onto the scene in November 2012. The Imam from Damascus' famous Umayyad Mosque was a man with a reputation for fair-mindedness and courageous opposition to the Bashar al-Assad regime. Popular and conciliatory, he seemed a ‘fresh face' to unite and calm the fractious SNC. But he lasted barely five months. This week, Talk to Al Jazeera sits down with Moaz al-Khatib, to find out his reasons for leaving, and how he is managing the current situation.
