The government says it will keep its forces in cities to quote "maintain security" until it is safe to withdraw in line with a U.N.-backed peace deal. 　　The agreement proposed by special envoy Kofi Annan says the Syrian authorities must be first to withdraw troops, and stop violence immediately. 　　Syrian rebels say they are ready to stop fighting the moment the Syrian army withdraws its tanks, artillery and heavy weapons from opposition areas.
