Aoun Suspects Some Seeking to 'Keep Syrian Refugees in Lebanon'
President Michel Aoun on Friday told a visiting EU official that Lebanon has “suspicions” that some forces are seeking to “keep” Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
“Lebanon hosts more than 1.5 million displaced Syrians and around 500,000 Palestinian refugees, and this hosting has left numerous repercussions on the Lebanese economy and aggravated the financial, social, educational and health crises it is facing,” Aoun told European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas.
“Lebanon, which is taking measures to prevent illegal migration from its territory, hopes it will be treated reciprocally by world nations, especially European countries, because it can no longer bear further burdens,” the President added.
“The international community’s continued disregard for the Lebanese calls seeking to facilitate the return of displaced Syrians to their country has started to create suspicions that some are seeking to keep them in Lebanon, which is something that the Lebanese cannot accept due to its negative impact on the demographic situation that is based on balance between the various Lebanese components,” Aoun went on to say.

Did the refugees rob the country and emptied our bank accounts? No, you, your in-laws, and your partners in crime did!

LOL, deja vue, Aoun after being the great curse for Christian communities in Lebanon, the destroyer of Christian reputation for enlightenment and education, the primary cause for Christian destitute and emigration, the maker of Faustian deal to sell Lebanon to Iranian Basij for 30 pieces of silver for personal and nepotism benefits, the maker of wars against Christians, the $40 Billion thefts from all ministries FPM managed to ruin... The only time when Lebanon had real independence and freedom from Syrian and Palestinian after 2005 Cedar Revolution , he sold Lebanon to the Basij. He is a premeditated assassin of Lebanon's independence, a nightmare for Christians for generations to come, a traitor that should rot in Jail for all the sufferings he caused to millions and our sovereignty.
