He stressed on the importance of national dialogue in “addressing all concerns openly” in order to protect Lebanon and maintain civil peace.
Suleiman urged Lebanese factions to “derive lessons from security tension and clashes”, pointing that the only solution is through all-party talks that could protect Lebanon from the regional implications and repercussions.
The President received Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji who briefed him on the security situation in the country in general, especially on Tripoli, and the measures taken in coordination with other security forces to deploy in the region and control the situation.
Clashes erupted over the weekend in Tripoli between Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhoods, leaving at least 14 people dead and more than 40 injured.
Just separating fighters is not a solution, it is a morphine shot whose effect is only temporary. 3 soldiers already hurt by sniper fire. Stop treating the symptoms and deal with the root cause.... remove all arms from the hands of the idiots. Those that resist throw them in jail or ship the to Uganda.
