إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Beirut MPs are scheduled to hold an emergency meeting at the parliament on Monday to discuss the latest armed clashes that took place in the capital, An Nahar daily reported.
The newspaper said Sunday that the lawmakers will meet at 1:00 pm “to discuss the different aspects” of the clashes.
It quoted Beirut deputies as saying that making the capital arms free will be at the center of discussions.
The issue was discussed several months ago between officials but they had not reached any decision.
"Today’s circumstances necessitate that such a demand is met," the sources said, saying "the authorities should assume their responsibilities away from procrastination no matter what the reasons are."
The Lebanese army said Friday that several people were arrested after an armed clash between Amal and Hizbullah supporters in the area of Zaidaniyeh-Aisha Bakkar left one person injured.
The gunfight erupted over an argument on a parking space.
Other such incidents have also taken place in Beirut lately.

To Mr "Freedom" above...stop generalizing...1) not all Shias are from HB or Amal...and 2) you can't extrapolate from 1 isolated event to an entire party...so before talking about social or intellectual contributions, use fair and valid arguments...Thank you

what an hypocrisy.... if the problem in beirut comes from the weapons illegally detained then what about the entire country?
they have to assume the problems that this so called resistance create by their weapons and let anyone arm himself like the hezb does or disarm everyone...like in any civilized country

@bigdig, i agree once with you that lebanon needs its christian face to stay the special lebanon we know, where all sects can coexist.
@ Sweating-demon : although what you are saying is offensing, the rule of majority against a minority, let me tell you it is not the quantity that counts but the quality :). Im not saying my chi3a and sunna brothers ( as i am christian ) are not capable, but look at christian cities, or towns, and muslim towns, poverty and lack of education still rules that is why you are bought by people like Hassoune.
But if we come back to numbers, yes , christians will be outnumbered in not even 10-15 years, not because of the other sects, but because of our own leaders and specially our churches that are loaded with money and wouldnt use its empty lands to build settlements and encourage christians to come back.
