Report: Al-Rahi Urges Aoun not to Take to the Streets

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi has reportedly urged Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Michel Aoun not to go ahead with his plans to resort to street action.

Al-Rahi told Aoun during a telephone conversation that he is not in favor of street protests against the backdrop of the cabinet crisis, An Nahar daily reported Monday.

The Change and Reform bloc leader threatened over the weekend to mobilize his supporters against the government for failing to make appointments of high-ranking military and security officials.

The lawmaker accuses his rivals of seeking to end the role of Christians in Lebanon.

The cabinet met last week after a three-year suspension caused by threats made by the FPM that its ministers would boycott any session whose agenda is not topped by the appointments decree.

Although the FPM's ministers attended, the session was marred by disputes among the rival parties.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam has called for another session on Thursday.

Reports have said the FPM will organize the protests immediately after the session although Change and Reform officials denied to al-Liwaa daily on Monday that they have set a date.

It is difficult to urge someone who came from the "street" not to go back to the "street".

To all the followers of the caporal:
Feodalism exists in many families. These families never denied it.
The only person who declared time after time that Lebanon must be liberated from feodalism is the Caporal. Yet, He is the one who is applying it.

You cannot deny that your "general of generals" is the generals of liars.
Leave him or shut your mouth and follow a liar (who at the same time is corrupt, agent, khadim, traitor and mentally ill).

Dear Batrak
Let the Caporal call for demonstrations and we will see how many Christians will follow him...He will implose and we finish with this destructor.

Your Eminence, with all my love and respects to you, please, for the love of God, don't urge this clown anything. let him take to the streets, let him do whatever he wants, Y.E, Aoun is broke, bankrupt, he has lost almost all his support. This past Saturday, he asked his partisans to go to Rabieh, Y.E, one half-empty bus and one Renault 18 with 3 passengers, that's all he could muster. Y.E, this Aoun clown believes that he can solve matters in the street. For the presidential, he wants the street, for him to express his frustration, he wants the street. We know that he is aiming to cheat to sabotage Lebanon, but this time Y.E, leave him to do what he says he will do, and let's see how far he will go. Aoun believes that he is alone in Lebanon.

Report: Al-Rahi Urges Aoun not to Take to the Streets...............
Last time his supporters went to the street (along those of LF) they were beaten and imprisoned by none other than GMA current allies and friends Assad and Nasrallah.
