Aoun Says Lebanon to 'Overcome Difficult Circumstances'

President Michel Aoun stressed Friday that Lebanon “will manage to overcome the difficult circumstances,” only hours after PM-designate Saad Hariri stepped down, a move that deepened the major uncertainty that crisis-hit Lebanon is going through at all levels.

“Lebanon will manage to overcome the difficult circumstances that it is currently going through at all levels, because events have proved that the will to life of the Lebanese have always enabled them to defeat various difficulties,” Aoun said, during a Baabda meeting with a delegation from the NDU university.

Noting that he is counting on the young generation to “build the future of the Lebanon that we want,” the President emphasized that “nothing should frustrate the Lebanese despite the harshness of what they are facing.”

Aoun also pledged to “exert all efforts to exit the successive crises” that the Lebanese are going through.
