FPM, AMAL to Sign Memorandum of Understanding 'Very Soon'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Free Patriotic Movement and the AMAL Movement are inclined to sign a memorandum of understanding that will turn the page on their years-long frosty relations, a media report said on Thursday.

“A third lunch meeting has been held between the ministers Jebran Bassil and Ali Hassan Khalil in the presence of General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim,” al-Joumhouria newspaper reported.

“The meeting was held in Ibrahim's office at the General Security headquarters and the conferees continued their discussions on the FPM-AMAL MoU,” the daily added, noting that the MoU will be signed “very soon.”

Parliament Speaker and AMAL leader Nabih Berri had openly opposed the election of FPM founder Michel Aoun as president but a rapprochement meeting between the two movements eventually led to the approval of long-stalled oil and gas exploration decrees.

If it materializes, the MoU will be the second such agreement that the FPM signs with an essential Shiite party after the famous 2006 MoU with Hizbullah.

And there you go, more people going into Iran's coffer. There's nothing patriotic about such M.O.U, especially not when they surrender the people's power to a foreign nation. If any conclusion is to be drawn from the memo, it is that Amal and HA have always been one despite some divisions. The poor Shi'a community isn't represented democratically, and it won't change anytime soon unless the party of terror surrenders its weapons to the only legitimate force in our nation, the Lebanese Army. In the mean time, go on with your lives people, there's nothing good for you to see.

that is exactly how things work in a mafia ruled country; side agreements; side deals that bypass the norms of democracy and transparency. The MOU of the fpm and the Iranian proxy called Hezbollah signaled the beginning of the disintegration of the state of Lebanon. This one is all about sharing the loot. The fpm now has a MOU with those they have accused of corruption over the last 30 or so years.
