General Mood is expected to brief the UN Security Council on Monday about the
worsening security situation in Syria, which has effectively made a mockery
of the peace plan sponsored by the former UN secretary general, Kofi Annan.
Hundreds of people, including civilians, rebels and government forces, have
been killed in the two months since Mr Annan’s ceasefire deal was supposed
to come into effect.
The violence has increased sharply this month, with rebels formally abandoning
any commitment to Mr Annan’s ceasefire and government forces using attack
helicopters and artillery to pound opposition strongholds into submission.
On May 15, a roadside bomb damaged observers’ cars shortly after they met with
Syrian rebels in the northern town of Khan Sheikoun. A week earlier, a
roadside bomb struck a Syrian military truck in the south of the country
just seconds after General Mood drove by in a convoy.
Their presence has been an important source of independent information,
particularly as Syria bars journalists from reporting freely in the country.
But prominent activist Rami Abdul-Rahman, of the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, said it was better for the United Nations teams to leave.
“We haven’t seen anything beneficial from them. If they are independent – so
what?” he said. “A lot of crimes happened in Syria, and they couldn’t do
anything.”
The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least 22
civilians were killed on Saturday, most of them in army shelling on the
eastern suburbs of Damascus.
Activists also reported gunfire in the Mezze neighbourhood of the capital, and
bombardment of rebel strongholds in the central city of Homs which they said
killed five people..
France said on Friday night that it was seriously concerned about what it said
were reports of an imminent large-scale operation against Homs.
“The bloody repression led by Syrian authorities, which is intolerable and has
caused tens of deaths in recent days, must come to an end,” a Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman said.
An estimated 10,000 people have died so far in the 15-month uprising against
President Bashar-al Assad’s rule. Syrian authorities blame the violence on
foreign-backed Islamists who they say have killed at least 2,600 police and
soldiers.
