Zahle MPs Slam Hizbullah Expansion into Tarshish
Zahle bloc MPs slammed on Monday Hizbullah’s attempt to expand its military presence in the town of Tarshish, saying that it has completely disregarded the state and its constitutional institutions.
It also addressed Syrian army incursions into Lebanon, noting that its “shameful” position on the matter “demonstrates the extent of its affiliation with Syria that has not respected agreements between it and Lebanon.”
The bloc demanded, after its weekly meeting, that the government take a “decisive” stand on the affair and order the deployment of the Lebanese army in the areas that witnessed incursions in order to reassure the Lebanese residents in those regions.
The meeting was attended by MPs Tony Abu Khater, Assem Araji, Elie Marouni, and Chant Janjanian.
Meanwhile, Tarshish municipal head Gaby Semaan revealed that none of the concerned ministries on the Tarshish incident contacted the town to clarify the matter, media reports said on Monday.
“Contacts are underway however with security apparatuses to tackle the affair,” he added.
“The residents have unanimously and clearly rejected Hizbullah’s expansion of its telecommunications network,” he continued.
On Friday, Tarshish residents prevented the party from expanding its network in the town.
The party attempted to expand the network as internet fiber optic cables belonging to the Telecommunications Ministry were being installed in the town.
Hizbullah official Hussein Janbey has stressed that the expansion of the network was only aimed at guaranteeing a “safe contact with our families and friends in nearby Majdel Tarshish” town, Tarshish Semaan told An Nahar and al-Mustaqbal newspapers.
Telecommunications Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui said in a statement over the weekend: “No side, whether it is official or unofficial, has the right to use the ministry’s network for its personal use without first receiving legal permission from the ministry to do so.”

what's the big deal guys!!!! it is just to guarantee safe communication between families and friends......
Their families and friends are different than our families and friends; their martyrs are different than our martyrs; their "saints" are different than our saints; their telecom system is different than our telecom system; In essence....their Lebanon is different than our Lebanon!!

This what was said:
""Tarshish municipal head Gaby Semaan revealed that none of the concerned ministries on the Tarshish incident contacted the town to clarify the matter, media reports said on Monday""
There is no government....or there is what we call THE BICKERING government.
There are appointed ministers such as Karame....Bassil...others who know how to talk on behalf of sisterhood of Syria...Resistance...Israeli American plots....and all the rethorics of the Arab world but not the functioning of their ministries....may be they do not know how to handle issues.
Meantime, Hezbollah worries about contact with Families in Tarshish....how come they can not rely on the ministry of communication....
Poor Lebanese....they are laughing or crying.

@Patriot
there is use to even try to discuss with people like this guy.
they lost, eventhough they refuse to admit it, and soon they will have to give up their weapons to the army.
such replies denote they are losing their nerves :)
suggestion to all: do not reply to stupid comments from the M8 thugs for 2 reasons:
- they are too stuburn to realize they lost already
- whatever they say does not matter at this stage.

They steal cars, don't pay electricity, steal lands of others, build inside public domains, don't respect laws, and execute terrorist acts like in Antelias.
They call themselves resistance.
Their main job is to create each five years a reason for Israel to destroy our infrastructure.
One plane is able to destroy our roads and electricity plants.
