UN mission in Syria calls on to stop the military actions

The situation in Syria remains tensed also after the cease-fire regime was announced in the country. World forces and especially the UN are too troubled on the situation. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon released a statement some days ago and again expressed his troubles concerning the issue.

As washingtonpost.com writes the head of the U.N. observer mission in Syria on Sunday called on President Bashar Assad and the country’s opposition to stop fighting and allow a tenuous cease-fire to take hold.

Maj. Gen. Robert Mood spoke after arriving in the Syrian capital, Damascus, to take charge of an advance team of 16 U.N. monitors trying to salvage an international peace plan to end the country’s 13-month-old crisis.

Under the plan, a cease-fire is supposed to lead to talks between Assad and the opposition on a political solution to a conflict that has killed more than 9,000 people.

According to the observers the killings and blasts are going on in the country.

Remind that the cease-fire began unraveling almost as soon as it went into effect April 12. The regime has kept up its attacks on opposition strongholds, while rebel fighters have continued to ambush government security forces. Defying a major truce provision, the Syrian military has failed to withdraw tanks and soldiers from city streets.

Despite the violence, the truce still enjoys the support of the international community, largely because it views the plan as the last chance to prevent the country from falling into civil war — and because it does not want to intervene militarily.

As Cnn.com writes the U.N. observers continued their mission Monday in Syria to chronicle what is happening in the beleaguered nation, though even the team’s leader admitted its efforts are futile unless all factions commit to full candor and peace.

“Ten unarmed observers, 30 unarmed observers, 300 unarmed observers, even 1,000 unarmed observers cannot solve all the problems,” Maj. Gen. Robert Mood told a swarm of reporters in Damascus on Sunday, shortly after arriving in the country. “So I call on everyone to help us and cooperate with us in this very challenging task ahead of us.”

The clashes in Syria started on March, 2011 and last till now.
