BBC - Syrian troops leave Lebanese soil

Syria has announced that all of its military forces have left Lebanon in line with United Nations demands.

It informed the UN of the withdrawal after a parade of about 200 Syrian soldiers in the Bekaa Valley to mark the end of the 29-year deployment.

Soldiers received medals and shouted support for Syria’s president before marching off to a Lebanese army band.

Uh..huh…
