what does "back to the barracks " here mean? Does it mean demonstrating?
The ceasefire is indeed extremely fragile, and we are calling upon the Syrian government to fully implement its commitments under the six-point plan, and this means withdrawal of all heavy armoury (and) from population centres and back to the barracks.

It means that government forces should return to their bases.
"Barracks" refers to the place where military forces are based.
"Barricades" are what demonstrators/rioters erect in the streets.
