Credit: Reuters/Raad Al Fares/Shaam News Network/Handout By Erika Solomon and Douglas Hamilton BEIRUT | Thu Apr 5, 2012 11:51am EDT BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria told U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan it had begun pulling troops out of several cities on Thursday in line with a peace plan accepted by President Bashar al-Assad, but his foes said the army was still firing in those towns and elsewhere. Annan said the Syrian army and rebels must end all violence by 6 a.m. Syrian time (0400 GMT) on April 12 if the government meets its agreed deadline to halt fighting two days earlier. "I urge the government and the opposition commanders to issue clear instructions so that the message reaches across the country, down to the fighter and soldier at the local level," the former U.N. chief told the U.N. General Assembly. Annan's spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi, said in Geneva that Syrian authorities had "told us that they have begun withdrawing troops from certain areas", namely the cities of Deraa, Idlib and Zabadani. He said this was being verified, but did not say how. "They are complete liars, there is no army withdrawal, they are still in the middle of the city. They fired on the city this morning, like they do every day," a man calling himself Abu Mustafa said by telephone from Zabadani near the Lebanon border. However, he did acknowledge a modest pullback. "The army withdrew 15 tanks yesterday, but the rest are all around the checkpoints as usual," Abu Mustafa said. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For more stories on Syria, click on [nL6E8ES5CL] For graphic on fighting link.reuters.com/zan47s Interactive look at Syria link.reuters.com/pyt37s ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported at least 33 people, including 14 soldiers, killed on Thursday, 16 of them in the city of Homs and 14 in Idlib province. Video filmed by activists just outside Aleppo, Syria's second city, showed five tanks and armored personnel carriers firing heavy machineguns as they advanced through a village. A diplomatic face-off intensified between Syria's ally Russia and Western powers who want Assad to go. France accused the 46-year-old Syrian leader of cheating on his promises, while Moscow told opposition supporters abroad not to set ultimatums. But the U.N. Security Council was expected to adopt without objection a statement urging Syria to meet Annan's deadline. ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said attacks on civilians had not stopped and the Syria conflict was getting worse despite Assad's acceptance of Annan's initial plan to end the crisis. "The violence and assaults in civilian areas have not stopped. The situation on the ground continues to deteriorate," Ban told the U.N. General Assembly. More than 42,000 Syrians have fled the country since the uprising began a year ago and quickly descended into violence. Turkey said over 1,600 had crossed the border in the last two days, twice the recent average rate. The United Nations says Assad's forces have killed more than 9,000 people in the past year. Syria told the world body this week that 6,044 had died, including 2,566 soldiers and police. Blasts and gunfire rocked Douma and activists said army reinforcements headed for the town near Damascus shortly before a senior U.N. peacekeeping official arrived in the capital. Norwegian Army former Chief of Staff Major-General Robert Mood, 54, brought an advance planning team of 10 to decide how around 250 U.N. monitors might oversee the truce between army and insurgents due to take effect by next Thursday. Some analysts say any arrival of men in U.N. blue helmets will embolden a return to mass protests, as happened when an Arab League monitoring mission began operating in Syria in December. It was later withdrawn as violence increased. Mood has experience of armed U.N. peacekeeping operations in Kosovo, where around 60,000 troops were deployed in 1999 after a ceasefire and army withdrawal agreement were already in place. In Syria, where Western powers have ruled out military intervention, Annan envisages only unarmed U.N. monitors. QUEST FOR CONTRIBUTORS U.N. member states were already being asked to provide troops for the mission, to be deployed after April 10, Annan's spokesman said. Annan will hold talks on Syria in Iran, Assad's main regional ally, on April 11, Fawzi added. Annan has assiduously sought backing from Assad's friends as well as his foes for his difficult peace mission. Russia said it could support a new U.N. Security Council statement backing Annan's timeline for a Syria ceasefire if it does not level "threats and ultimatums" against Assad. "The Syrian government has accepted (Annan's) proposals and has begun implementing them, and it is very important not to undermine this process with ultimatums and threats," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday. Syria's state news agency quoted Lavrov as telling Annan by telephone that "not only the Syrian authorities, but also the opposition" must take steps to implement the envoy's peace plan. Russia has taken a pro-Assad tone, but some diplomats say Moscow has grown increasingly frustrated with Damascus and its failure to end the uprising, even as it denounces Western, Arab and Turkish calls for the Syrian leader to quit.
