FNs og den Arabiske Ligas særlige udsending til Syrien er ved at miste tålmodigheden med den syriske regering. Regeringen har sagt ja til en aftale om våbenhvile i det uroplagede land, men ifølge de eksisterende kilder fortsætter landets væbnede styrker med at skyde på civilbefolkningen.
The UN and Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, expects the government to implement his peace plan immediately, writes BBC
Mr Annan’s spokesman, Ahmed Fawzi, told reporters:
– The deadline is now.
The peace plan, which the government accepted on Tuesday, calls for a UN-supervised cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties.
But activists say government forces have been fighting armed rebels in the north-western province of Idlib and shelling the central city of Homs.
