Youth Hold Sit-In in Tripoli, Demand Authorities to Unveil Fate of Men Killed in Tall Kalakh
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Several youth from al-Mankoubeen area in the northern city of Tripoli erected on Saturday tents near al-Nour mosque to protest media reports saying that a group of Lebanese Islamists from the city were killed in the Syrian border town of Tall Kalakh.
The National News Agency reported that the youth are demanding authorities to determine the fate of the Twenty-two men.
22 young men, including a Palestinian, were killed on Friday in Tall Kalakh in an ambush carried out by Syrian regime forces, various media outlets said.
A security source told Agence France Presse that the victims were fighting alongside the Syrian opposition.
“The tents will remain erected for the upcoming two days,” one of the protesters stressed.
The youth demanded the government to intervene and determine the fate of the men, warning of moving their sit-in to the international highway in al-Badawi, which links Tripoli with the northern district of Akkar and the Syrian border.
A security source told AFP that 14 of the bodies had been delivered to a Syrian hospital by government troops.
The rival districts of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh in Tripoli have been gripped by frequent fighting between pro- and anti-Syrian President Bashar Assad supporters, reflecting a split between Lebanon's parties where the March 14-led opposition backs the revolt in Syria, while a ruling coalition led by Hizbullah supports the Damascus regime.

for once I would like to see m8 guys having the same approach to matters of this sort like all other Lebanese people, i.e. reject any interference in Syria.
most of us criticized what these guys were doing, would m8 guys denounce what hizbushaitan is doing in Syria?

yes I read that article and I followed up on this matter closely:
these young men went there, and had the army done its job properly sealing the Lebanese boreders we would not have seen this happening.
but the problem is hizbushaitan does not want to let the army close the borders because they want to go and fight there.
so once again our problem is with hizbushaitan and a weak military command (to say the least) that ae the root ause for our problems with this Syrian regime.

The authorities should demand and find out who sent those terrorists to fight in Syria. Those involved should be sent to jail.

M8 will soon eat their fingers because they helped bashar and his killing machine. even the americans after having done nothing to support the fsa is now changing its policy because they already are thinking in the after bashar period.
but i guess aoun will say that he supported the fsa and was against bashar since the beginning , lol!

there is no doubt whatsoever that hizbushaitan are loosing their mind over the Syrian regime issue deteriorating to this extent, but I reiterate my comment: we should not get involved too in this.
aoun will soon run away once more, especially the majority of the Christians are now aware where his policies have led the country to. they see that he is selling literaly the Christians to the Shiites for a penny of dollars. they see what a Judas he is.

of course we should not get involved in these matters, by both sides. at least the gvt officially says it is neutral even if unofficially we know what is going on but the position of lebanon is clear, we cannot say the same from some political parties.

The youth demanded the government to intervene and determine the fate of the men, ........ *** Walla, who asked you in the first place to carry weapons and cross into Syria to fight? Just like I want the Hezb not to meddle in Syria and to disarm, the same applies to you fanatics.
warning of moving their sit-in to the international highway in al-Badawi ....*** Again, just like I hate it when the Hezb closes roads and highways, the same applies to you. May I suggest that all of those thinking of closing the highway cross into Syria themselves and check on the ones killed. The less of you in Lebanon, the better off Lebanon is.S.

100% Helicopter.
They go do their islamist adventures and come back to the government demanding compensations and doing sit ins and crap like that. What the F...!
They were not fighting for lebanon. they were fighting for their beleifs, good or bad, let them take their responsability. The government has nothing to do with them.

Agree with them or not, these are idealist youth who wanted to fight against a brutal dictator. Some also come from families that suffered terribly at the hand of this regime. This is not something novel. Idealist youth have always volunteered to fight against fascist regimes - see the example of spainish civil war where volunteers came to help the republicans from all around the world against the fascist forces. So please let us avoid calling people names. May God help their families.
