Qatar Emir Promises Geagea to Exert All Efforts to Free Captive Servicemen

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Qatar's Emir vowed during talks with Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea on Monday that Doha would exert all efforts to resolve the case of the captive servicemen.

The LF leader, his wife MP Sethrida Geagea and the accompanying delegation met with Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha in the presence of the Qatari Foreign Minister, Khalid al-Attiyah.

They traveled to the Qatari capital on Sunday.

A statement issued by Geagea's press office said the discussions focused on the situation in Lebanon and the region.

“The two sides agreed on the importance of electing a Lebanese president as soon as possible,” it said.

They also stressed an end to the Syrian crisis to avoid more bloodshed and humanitarian suffering, said the statement.

When Geagea brought up the issue of the captive servicemen, the emir vowed that “Qatar would exert all efforts to find a solution to this cause.”

Soldiers and policemen were taken hostage by jihadists from al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State extremist group when they overran the northeastern border town of Arsal in August 2014.

Qatar has tasked a mediator to resolve the case.

OK, the field is now wide open for the M8 posters of this forum to come in with hundreds of trolls and even more insults, slurs and very creative stories. OK caps, brace yourselves before the deluge starts, Geagea has a way of spurring their minds and hearts, it's kind of volcano effect when it comes to them.

So your hero gets assured by the Gulf Arabs about the captured soldiers, he have to talk to the same ones that supports the takfiris that captured them in the first place.

If hes talking to the leaders of qatar, then he's talking to the backers of isis, but he won't talk to the other leaders in lebanon, why because the LF's and the march 14th clan have staged a coup in lebanon and salam is running the government from the MP's position! If you want to read something really telling about geagea google the WikiLeaks memo on geageas letter to the saudis!

Phoexface..
You keep posting Bashir's photo, hoping to be tolerated. In fact these symbols are long gone, relics from a past when Christians in Lebanon lost their pride to a notion: الله - الوطن - العائلة which ripped apart the Christian Fabric of the Lebanese society and continue to this day under Geagea, the Christian Northerner.

just google the Geagea's letter to the saudis, that was exposed on Wikileaks, where he promises to the saudis to do what ever they want, and to h*ll with the christians in lebanon!
