“The Syrians spoke very clearly, they don’t have anything to hide. They let those observers witness how the weapons smuggled from Turkey, from Lebanon, and from Jordan are coming into the country and how this weapon infiltration is feeding those terrorists and how they terrorize a certain area in Syria.”-Kamel Wazne, political analyst in Lebanon

On December 19, in a public ceremony the Syrian government signed the Arab League’s demands for an Observer Mission.

The signing included Arab League deputy secretary general Ahmed bin Hilly.

The deal is good for one month, and the AL Observers will be free to go anywhere in Syria. The deal was signed in Cairo, Egypt.
