World powers agreed today on a power transition plan for strife-hit Syria, with the unity government to include members of the present government as well as opposition, international envoy Kofi Annan said, AFP reported.

A crunch meeting in Geneva agreed that the transitional government "could include members of the present government and the opposition and other groups and shall be formed on the basis of mutual consent," Annan said.

The operative sentence by Clinton is: it is now “incumbent on Russia and China to show Assad the writing on the wall and help force his departure.”

“The Action Group members will engage as appropriate, and apply joint and sustained pressure on, the parties in Syria to implement what we have discussed,” Mr. Annan said. “The hard work starts now. We must work together to implement what has been agreed. We cannot do this alone. I hope all in Syria will embrace what has been laid out here and work with us to stop the killing and build a better future,” he added.

La bozza iniziale di Annan prevedeva l'esplicita esclusione di esponenti dell'attuale regime, un'espressione che automaticamente avrebbe previsto la deposizione di Assad. Il veto della Russia ha imposto la modifica la documento finale e l'incertezza sul destino e il ruolo di Assad prova che l'intesa resta soprattutto una dichiarazione di intenti con scarse possibilità di portare a una svolta in tempi rapidi.

"There is no peace and there is no plan," said Ahmed Julak, 39, from a hospital bed in the southern Turkish city of Antakya, where he is recovering from a broken leg he sustained while smuggling ammunition into Syria.

"Nobody listened to Kofi Annan whose plan to demand that both sides to step back from the brink has been stillborn since it was unveiled in April. Not the regime, and not us. There is no dealing with these people, and that is the truth. And what is a transitional government?" he said, dismissing talk of an internationally backed administration to ease Syria free from autocracy and away from the spectre of war.

"If Assad stays or goes is not the problem. It's the regime that needs to go. If that doesn't happen, then no reasonable person can say there has been progress."
