March 14 Vows to Salvage Lebanon from ‘Syria-Hizbullah Cabinet’ Dangers
The March 14 forces vowed on Wednesday to confront alleged attempts by the new Lebanese cabinet to take Lebanon back to the era of Syrian hegemony and integrate the country’s institutions into Hizbullah’s statelet.
The general-secretariat of the coalition said after its weekly meeting that it would prevent Premier Najib Miqati’s government to “return Lebanon to the dark stage that the Cedar Revolution liberated” after ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination in February 2005.
The statement accused the Syrian regime of forming the new cabinet the same way it toppled former Premier Saad Hariri’s government via Hizbullah which according to March 14 would control the state and take the Lebanese as hostages.
“The Syrian-Hizbullah cabinet is endangering Lebanon given that it would implement policies that contradict legitimate international resolutions, either through its rejection to scrap illegitimate arms as called by (Security Council) resolution 1701 or through its coup against the international tribunal,” said the statement read by the general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid.
In its position as the country’s opposition, the alliance vowed to defend the state and its military, security, educational, economic and social institutions against the Hizbullah mini-state.
It also promised its supporters to prevent the country from being part of the Iranian project in the Arab world in the hopes that Lebanon would join back the Arab Spring that kicked off in Beirut six years ago.
