قهوجي يهنئ العسكريين بإخراج "البلاد من الفتنة": جاهزون لكل مبادرة تريد حل المشاكل

Read this story in English W460

أعلن قائد الجيش العماد جان قهوجي عدم السكوت عن استهداف الجيش الذي يخوض معركة شرسة في صيدا، إنما كشف عن جهوزيته "لكل مبادرة طيبة" تحل المشاكل الأمنية.

وقال قهوجي في أمر اليوم للعسكريين نشره الموقع الرسمي للجيش اللبناني "لقد أنجزتم مهمة صعبة ودقيقة، وخرجتم منها ورؤوسكم مرفوعة، لأنكم أنقذتم بلدكم من الفتنة، في وقت كان الجيش يتعرض لحملة سياسية تستهدفه وتضعه في خانة هذا الطرف أو ذاك، وتحاول حماية المعتدين عليه".

أضاف "لقد برهنتم، وعيون الدول العربية والغربية تتطلع إليكم، إن الجيش وحدة متماسكة وانه لم يتعرض لطائفة ولا لدور عبادة ولا لأي رجل دين، وهو ليس مع فريق ضد آخر ولا مع طائفة دون أخرى".

وشدد قهوجي على أن الجيش "ردّ على مجموعة مسلحة اعتدت عليه عن سابق تصور وتصميم، بعدما حذر مراراً انه سيرد على النار بالنار".

وكرر قهوجي أن "الجيش جيش وطني ولا يفرق بين طائفة وأخرى ومذهب وآخر، وهو لجميع اللبنانيين، ويسمو باحتضانهم له وحريص على علاقته مع جميع الطوائف والقوى السياسية على حد سواء شرط احترامها القانون والحفاظ على المؤسسات".

عليه توجه قهوجي "إلى أهلنا في طرابلس والبقاع وبيروت وجبل لبنان والجنوب بالتعزية باستشهاد أبناء الجيش اللبناني، وندعوهم إلى الوقوف صفاً واحداً إلى جانب جيشهم بدل تحويل مناطق لبنان بؤر مسلحة، مؤكدين لهم أننا لن نسكت عن استهدافنا".

إلا أن قائد الجيش استدرك قائلا "لكننا جاهزون لكل مبادرة طيبة تريد الحوار والعمل على حل المشاكل الأمنية أينما تقع واستيعاب محاولات البعض إشعال الشارع ونقل الفتنة من منطقة إلى أخرى".

كما قال "لجميع القوى السياسية على اختلافها، أن وقوفكم إلى جانب الجيش اللبناني يجب أن يكون معبراً من أجل توطيد السلم الأهلي في كافة المناطق اللبنانية والتغطية لآي مخل بالأمن تساهم في توسيع رقعة المشاكل وتدخل لبنان في متاهة طائفية ومذهبية لا خلاص منها".

ولم ينف قائد الجيش "أن وطننا يمر بمرحلة صعبة والحل لا يكون باستهداف الجيش بل بقيام جميع القوى السياسية بسحب ذرائع التفجير والتنسيق مع الجيش من أجل استتباب الأمن وإنقاذ لبنان".

وكان قد أعلن الجيش الإثنين حرصه التام على دور العبادة في صيدا مشيرا إلى استمرار عملياته في مدينة صيدا "حتى اجتثاث الفتنة منها".

وقالت قيادة الجيش في بيان بعد ظهر الإثنين أنه "تواصل وحدات الجيش عملياتها العسكرية في مدينة صيدا ومنطقة عبرا للقضاء على المظاهر المسلحة وتوقيف المعتدين على مراكز الجيش وإعادة فرض الامن والاستقرار".

وكشفت أنه "قد عمد العديد من المسلحين الى القنص على عناصر الجيش باستخدام المراكز الدينية سواتر لهم، بالاضافة الى اتخاذهم المواطنين الابرياء دروعا لهم لتفادي المواجهة المباشرة مع قوى الجيش".

وإذ أكدت القيادة "حرصها التام على دور العبادة وحياة المواطنين" دعت "المسلحين الذين قاموا بالاعتداء على مراكز الجيش والمواطنين، وهم معروفون بالنسبة اليها فردا فردا، الى القاء السلاح وتسليم انفسهم فورا الى قوى الجيش حرصا على عدم إراقة المزيد من الدماء".

عليه أكدت "لجميع اللبنانيين أن الجيش ماض في اجتثاث الفتنة من جذورها، ولن تتوقف علمياته العسكرية حتى اعادة الامن الى المدينة وجوارها بصورة كاملة وانضواء الجميع تحت سقف القانون والنظام".

هذا وطالب القيادة "المواطنين، وخصوصا الموجودين في بقعة العمليات العسكرية او داخل مجمع الاسير ومحيطه، الذين يتعرضون لمشاكل امنية، الى الاتصال بعمليات قيادة الجيش على رقمي الهاتف: 1701، 422245/01 بغية معالجة هذه المشاكل بالسرعة القصوى وإجلائهم عند الضرورة".

وكان قد اتهم الشيخ سالم الرافعي الإثنين الجيش بتحمل مسؤولية "اقتحام" مسجد بلال بن رباح "ومقتل الأطفال والنساء".

يذكر ان اشتباكات صيدا المستمرة أوقعت أكثر 16 قتيلا للجيش و100 جريح. كما يحكى عن معلومات غير مؤكدة عن سقوط 20 قيتلا من أنصار الأسير.

Not to defend Assir, but there's no proof that Assir attacked first. It could be that the soldiers standing at the checkpoint had their orders from HA. Is there proof?

You deny our claims that HA and Bachar killed Hariri, because we don't have proof..... Kamen double standards?

FT, do you have a proof that the Assir started it? Sure they retaliated (and they shouldnt have done so). Do you have a proof?

You know that we m14ers wish nothing else than the army being in charge of Lebanon's defense..... But we seem to be the only ones.

"You guys" ? Who are "you guys" ?

Are you saying anyone against Hezbollah is Pro-Assir ? Is this how narrow-minded your view of the world is ?

Can you only count from 1 to 2 ? You know that the world offers infinite possibilities beyond what your very very simple mind can grasp.

You know there are other political views you moron ...

Yes, all Anti-Hezbollah are canibal Assir worshippers... of course.

According to Mowaten, if you disagree with Hezbollah, you are obviously : A Sunni, Saudi Funded, American Supported, Israeli loving, Cannibal terrorist extremist. There can be no other way.

Half the christians in Lebanon (FT will disagree with this number) are now all sunni cannibals!

hezbollah's weapons are a problem. 100 percent true. But this is not the issue now. Now our country is under attack and we need to be united behind our army to fight the terrorists.

Stop at people trying to link it with Hezbollah. Hezbollah is fighting in Syria, sunnis extremists have been fighting in Syria for years now, a lot before Hezbollah started to do. But what happen in Syria must stay in Syria.

Sunnis extremists would rather kill shias and army personnel in Lebanon just because Hezbollah is fighting in Syria? Hezbollah fighting in Syria doesn't affect anything in Lebanon. If the sunni extremists are against that, they should move back to fight in Syria.

But here they are importing the conflict in Lebanon and are launching attack on the neutral national army.

To sum it up, if you are against Hezbollah involvement in Syria, go to Syrian, pick up a weapon and fight in Syria.

Do not import conflict in Lebanon and do not attack the national institutions

Pakistan never ever elect mullahs( Religious wahabis) but our establishment / ruling elites are controlled by Saudi arabia and America . This is the reason taliban has killed more than 70000 pakistanis but our establishment is not willing to take action or fight against these uneducated wahabi jihadists .

No one talks about our Army like that. You talk about prostitutes, you live among them. In your family or any close relatives?

For the administrator of this blog at Naharnet, How do you let this idiot post something like that.

Anyways, Pretty simple, Have you ever served in the Lebanese army? Let me guess!!! God bless the Army and all security forces in Lebanon. I agree that Lebanon is not an easy place to restore the law overnight. But that doesn't mean you have to insult our Army who is composed of every single religion in Lebanon, from Muslims to Christians.

Respect that's one word with a heavy price. Apply that everyday 24/7 365 and we'll all see the difference.

Not their fault but HA's objective has always been to marginalize me and to use them to manage simple tasks such as traffic accidents, thefts, etc...

HA wants them under equipped and under trained.... The Farsi will say Israel wants this. Yet, the M8 government who raised the MPs monthly salary from $11.000 to $19.000 (for life, even after retirement) but don't have money to train our Army.

Army cannot act against HA for the simple reason that unfortunately hezbollah IS legality according to the lebanese system today.
HA, the party of iran, of weapons, that invaded beirut, that is stealing the port, that is covering criminals, has more than half the parliament with its allies.
So first war to remove HA's weapons is in parliament and through dialogue. not like those thugs.

People, you are either with state institutions and the rule of law or against it. There are no ifs or buts. Assir attacked the Army, a state institution. His men killed OUR soldiers. He must be absolutely and uncompromisingly caught, dead or alive. That's it.

HA is another organisation that is acting outside of the state and they must be dealt with as well. But as much as I loath HA's arms, they are not directly and brazenly attacking the Army so far, and I favor dialog with HA to come to a win-win situation that benefits everyone.

But right now the overriding priority is to crush Assir. You don't deal with Nasrallah's arms by allowing Assir to open his own shop like Nasrallah did.

Here is the "SIMPLE" math of what is happening and what is yet to happen. Sunni's more and more are starting to realize that if a Hizbullah member comes to their home and kills them or their family the security forces are not going to lift a finger to stop them or apprehend them that is now a "FACT", so Sunni's and Shia that don't agree with HA policy, and maybe some other factions will start arming themselves on individual basis to protect their family, than neighborhoods will start alliances to protect their neighbourhood instead of each one's family which will increase their effectiveness, and so on until you are going to have militias, THAN you'll have the start of the new civil war.
