Hariri: State Should Not Spare Any Effort to Return Tripoli under Rule of Law
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri hoped on Tuesday that the residents of Tripoli would cooperate with the army and security forces in their deployment in the northern city as they attempt to restore calm there.
He said in a statement: “The state should not hesitate in providing all elements that will place Tripoli's security under the rule of the law.”
“We hope that the deployment will pave the way to ending repeated attempts to tamper with the security and stability of the city,” he added.
“We hope the deployment will restore the people's trust in the state's role in protecting them and end the series of armed clashes that are being fueled by well-known sides that act as the security and military arm of the Syrian regime in Lebanon,” remarked Hariri.
“We look forward to the residents of Tripoli in helping the army in its deployment and that they would deal firmly with any party that seeks to violate the security plan,” he continued.
“Some sides that are jealous of the army and the state's role will never become more honest and more attached to the army and its national role than the Mustaqbal Movement and its supporters,” declared the former premier.
“The Mustaqbal Movement has never once sought to form its own state at the expense of the army or the state,” he stressed.
Tripoli will no longer accept to be a victim of armed clashes and it will not “accept sedative measures” that will temporarily end the unrest before they flare up again, noted Hariri.
The Lebanese army deployed on Tuesday along Syria Street, the road that separates the Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen neighborhoods that have witnessed fighting between rival armed groups over the past week.
Clashes ended after 11:00 pm Monday after top officials held intense contacts to guarantee the army's safe entry to Syria Street.
Three soldiers were wounded on Monday during a clash with gunmen as troops deployed in Bab al-Tabbaneh, whose residents are mostly Sunni and back the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The military had earlier deployed in Jabal Mohsen that is mainly Alawite, the sect of Assad.
The two neighborhoods have repeatedly witnessed rounds clashes that have only grown in intensity after the eruption of the uprising in Syria in March 2011.

"Hariri issued a statement saying “is it acceptable to turn the Lebanese army, with its Airborne and other forces, into a false witness in the declared war against Tripoli?"
Saad changing his tune again? Hopefully Saad also means taking down those that fund this violence. Millions have been spent to foment these outbreaks. Will Saad use his influence to stop the patrons of this carnage?

How would he be President when he can't hold onto being Prime Minister?

But what about the patrons and perpetrators of this hatred and violence? The question of cause must come before the question of cure. So the question must be: Who is causing this upheaval, the patrons and perpetrators and how can they be stopped?

God Bless Sayyed Hassanallah for being so transparent and honest as usual. His blaming of "angry" KSA and Saado for all our troubles echoes the sentiment of 99.99% of the Lebanese population. Yes, it is the angry KSA that has been demanding veto power in any government; it is the angry KSA that shut down government and parliament for 18 months and occupied the center of Beirut; it is the angry KSA who has failed in imposing law and order in the country since it controls our government; Yes, it is the angry Saudi Arabia that has sent thousands of Jihadists to protect Sunni villages in Syria and liberate Qusayr. Thank you Sayyed for believing that dialogue and negotiations are the only solution to the Syrian crisis. Your sending of 15,000 Shia fighters to Syria for the sake of dialogue lends credibility to your status and words. Bless you and may the Lord give you a long healthy life. As for Saado all I can say is ....tfeh.....

Doesn't Hariri think his words might be more effective if he was saying them from behind a podium in Lebanon rather than from his estate in the stolen lands of Arabia?

The real answer is that the Saudi's are not allowing him to go back to Lebanon. It is sad but true.
I doubt anyone has a price on Hariri's head, his death would be meaningless to them.

I don't understand your question.
Or is this website a place for you to try out your new stand-up comedy act?

As a comedy act I need to tell you that it'll fail miserably. You need to have more punch lines in your jokes.
As for the spot light being shifted, its not. The Saudi's and Zionist are working together.
