Arab League Calls for End to Gunfire in Syria

The Arab League's Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi has called for an end to gunfire in Syria as tanks and army forces are withdrawing from the cities, BBC reported.

Nearly 60 Arab League monitors went to Syria last week to end crackdown of anti-government protesters .
Meanwhile, some Arab countries and activists inside Syria have said that the monitors should leave Syria because they are not doing too much.

Despite, the presence of the monitors, snipers are present around the cities to target the protesters.

This comes as activist groups claim that at least 20 people were killed on Monday in the city of Homs.

Since the arrival of the monitors, nearly 390 people have been killed.

The UN says that more than 5,000 people have been killed since the start of the riots in March.
