Arab League peace monitors arrived in the Syrian city of Homs on Tuesday, to see for themselves the extent of the clashes there between the army and protesters.
And while the violence has turned parts of Homs into a war-zone that could lead to civil war, the Syrian football league has resumed in Damascus.
The championship was put on hold in April and according to the country’s Football Association, this decision was taken to allow national and junior teams to attend other tournaments.
