Arab League votes to readmit Syria as members begin to normalise ties with President Assad
Syria's membership of the league was suspended in 2011 as a civil war broke out which has led to the deaths of more than half a million people.
The Arab League has voted to readmit Syria more than a decade after it was suspended following a bloody crackdown on street protests that led to civil war.
The lifting of the suspension consolidates a regional push to normalise ties with Syria’s President Bashar al Assad.
