International ministers from Arab League member states have agreed to reinstate Syria’s membership after its suspension greater than 10 years in the past, in accordance with Iraqi state media.
The ministers voted for Syria’s return into the fold on the Arab League’s headquarters in Cairo on Sunday.
The choice was made upfront of the Arab League Summit in Saudi Arabia on Might 19 and amid a flurry of regional normalisation of ties with Damascus in latest weeks.
Syria’s Arab League membership was revoked after President Bashar al-Assad ordered a crackdown on protesters in March 2011 that spiralled the nation right into a civil battle that has since killed almost half one million individuals and displaced one other 23 million.
