سليمان: ليكون استذكار الحرب الاهلية لاستخلاص العبر
Read this story in Englishدعا رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان اللبنانيين، في الذكرى الـ37 للحرب الاهلية اللبنانية، ان يكون استذكارها لاستخلاص العبر مما تؤدي اليه الصراعات والخلافات عندما تتجاوز سقف المصلحة الوطنية الى لعبة المحاور والمصالح السياسية والآنية والمكاسب الخاصة.
كما دعا الى التوقف مليا عند هذه الذكرى والتبصر بمضامينها ومعانيها.
ولفت سليمان الى اهمية الاستقرار الذي ينعم به لبنان في خضم التوتر والغليان الذي تشهده المنطقة امنياً وسياسياً.
وامل ان "يعي اللبنانيون اهمية التفاهم الداخلي على الثوابت الوطنية الاساسية وان يبقى الاختلاف حيال اي موضوع ضمن الاطر الديموقراطية والدستورية لان لا قيامة حقيقية للدولة التي يصبو اليها اللبنانيون الا بالتزام الدستور الضامن الوحيد للوطن وابنائه".
وانطلقت الشرارة الاولى للحرب الاهلية في 13 نيسان عام 1975، وانتهت في 13 تشرين الاول 1990 بعد أن اوقعت أكثر من 150 ألف قتيل وأكثر من 20 ألف مفقود وتشريد مئات الآلاف من اللبنانيين على مختلف طوائفهم ومذاهبهم .
Agree Mr. President. Now lets put words into actions. Strengthen the army, fortify the constitution and the courts, end corruptions and ma2hsoobeyat, Stop illegal arms and money and prosecute those that engage in any destabilization or selling off to foreign entities at the expense of Lebanon
The past is the past, we need to learn from it and look to the future and stop using it to keep blaming and hating each other. We all suffered.
I hope this doesn't only include Hezbollah's arms, but also Hariri and Geagea's militias, not to mention Israeli and Syrian proxy militias spattered around Lebanon. Let us try to be impartial here when declaring such statements.
it includes EVERYBODY.... only national forces should be the only ones to have arms and no parties or citizens....
lebanese haven t learned a thing... who were the cause of a civil war? palestinians who were armed to the teeth...
if they really learned a thing they d ask for another present militia armed to the teeth to disarm and obey the STATE!
Peace, we can not blame the civil war on the palestinians. Our civil war started long before the refugees even arrived. All sects and armed groups should be blamed including the syrian army and plo. The hate between sects were boiling in 1975 just like it was boiling in 1875. To put all or most of the blame on non-lebanese is simply a recipe for self destruction bcuz that shows that we havent learned a thing and are willing to do it over and over again.
How about democracy? One person, one vote, no matter which group you are assigned to. No more "one Christian vote is worth three Muslim votes". Why don't you talk about this?
simple: because the clerics (cheikhs, priests and so on) would lose their power over the people and the benefits they gain from ruling their followers and brainwashing them with the fear of the other religions which are evil but not theirs!
religion is a business like any other in lebanon....
God Bless every Lebanese Forces member that died for the LEBANESE cause to safeguard our Country from the hegemony of:Sa3eka, Jibril, Arafat and their supporters who were involved in the Dammour/Hadath/Baabda massacres from 75 to 90. RIP and without you we would not have been here to speak our mind and the truth.
Such secterian mentality caused the civil wars in lebanon. You never see the sins of your own sect, and you victimize yourself only. Keep beeing backward and see how far it will take you.
