Arab League Leader Fears that Lebanon Would Go up in Flames
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi expressed concern over the situation in Lebanon but stressed the body will not make an initiative to resolve the security incidents in the country as long as Lebanese officials haven’t asked for assistance.
“Signs (that the situation) in Lebanon would ignite are very worrying,” al-Arabi told the Saudi Okaz daily in an interview published Sunday. “I hope that doesn’t happen.”
“I believe that all Lebanese are aware of the dangers,” he said.
“We haven’t been asked to do anything particular and I am always in contact with PM (Najib) Miqati and Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour,” al-Arabi added.
Asked if he believed the situation would get worse after more than 12 people were killed in fighting between armed groups in Beirut and the northern city of Tripoli, he said: “We hope it doesn’t.”
But al-Arabi stressed that the Arab League is in the service of its member states if they need any assistance in resolving a crisis.
Asked if the League would make an initiative on its own, he reiterated that it doesn’t impose anything on the different Lebanese parties as long as they haven’t resorted to it for assistance.
He also expressed trust in the “wise” government of Premier Najib Miqati that “is working to end the crisis as soon as possible.”

actually it is Gulf's business because they are funding the militias and the Salafist preachers in Tripoli. If you can read through the lines, al Arabi is saying exactly this.

There is nothing left to burn in Lebanon. It's all ashes. And if something comes out of it is quickly burned. Only the lies and illusions remain.
Let us in peace.
