FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A decision on whether to extend the Arab League’s fact-finding mission in Syria is due later on Sunday, as League members convene in Cairo. A member of the mission told RT’s crew in Syria that the observers are likely to remain in the country.
The meeting comes against a backdrop of harsh criticism from opposition groups, which say the observer mission has failed to curb bloodshed.
In the latest flare-up, at least 14 people are reported to have been killed in a roadside bomb attack on a van carrying prisoners in the north-west of the country.
RT’s Sara Firth joined the observers as they visited Zabadani, a town near the Syrian capital Damascus, now largely controlled by opposition forces.
Despite the expiry of the League’s mandate, its observers continue to travel around Syria to monitor the situation. Some see this as further evidence that the LAS mission is set to continue here, possibly for another month. An Arab League observer unofficially told RT that this is very likely.
Zabadani is considered to be under the control of so-called Free Syrian Army. In the past few days, a temporary ceasefire has been proclaimed between rebels and government forces, and the city does seem to be divided between the two sides of the conflict, RT’s correspondent confirms. On the other hand, locals say, there is a lot of confusion about what is really going on, who is in charge, and who is killing who.
