Syria - signs Arab League plan to allow monitors

Published on Dec 19, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Syria has signed an Arab League peace plan aimed at ending months of bloodshed. The deal agreed in Cairo paves the way for Arab League observers to monitor the situation on the ground.

The agreement also calls for troops to be withdrawn from city centres and for political prisoners to be freed.

Until now Syria has been wavering over the deal. But in Damascus the foreign minister Walid al-Muallem said it signed on Russia's advice after various demands were met.
