敘利亞停火實施後爆發衝突

Reports from Syria say violent clashes broke out less than two hours after the start of a nationwide cease-fire that began at midnight Friday, local time.

The deal includes the Syrian government and several rebel groups, but not certain Islamist groups. The monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said Friday that rebels violated the cease-fire by taking over territory in the province of Hama.

But a spokesman for the Jaish al-Nasr rebel group, told Reuters news service that government forces violated the deal by shelling areas in Idlib province, which borders Hama.

Russia, which backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Turkey, which supports rebel groups, have said they would guarantee the truce, which came after Turkey, Syria and Russia last week said they were ready to broker a peace deal in the six-year war.

There are dozens of groups fighting in Syria, and it was not immediately clear which of them have agreed to halt hostilities.

There have been three previous attempts to secure a nationwide cease-fire in Syria. The most recent was in September, but it lasted only a little over a week.來自敘利亞的報道說，當地時間星期五午夜開始的全國停火不到兩小時就爆發了衝突。

這項停火由敘利亞政府與幾個反政府武裝力量之間達成，不包括某些伊斯蘭極端組織。總部設在英國的監督機構敘利亞人權瞭望臺星期五說，反政府武裝違反了停火協議，在哈馬省奪取土地。

但是反政府武裝力量（Jaish al-Nasr）的一位發言人告訴路透社說，是政府軍違反協議，炮擊了哈馬省附近的伊德利卜省一些地區。

土耳其，敘利亞和俄羅斯上星期表示，他們已經談判達成和平協議，結束這場歷時六年的戰爭。支持敘利亞總統阿薩德的俄羅斯政府和支持敘利亞反叛力量的土耳其都表示，他們將保證停火的執行。

敘利亞有幾十支反政府武裝力量，目前還不清楚都有那些反政府武裝同意停火。

敘利亞此前曾有過三次全國停火，最近一次是今年9月，但只持續了一個多星期。
