LF and Mustaqbal Request Supporters to Stop War of Words

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Lebanese Forces General Secretariat and the al-Mustaqbal movement are trying to mend the rift that emerged against the backdrop of the latest presidential nominations, and have therefore asked on Monday their supporters to stop the war of words on social media.

The General Secretariat of the Lebanese forces issued a circular asking its supporters to abstain from venting their anger against the nomination of MP Suleiman Franjieh on social media.

“We strongly urge our supporters and partisans to refrain from targeting the March 14 officials mainly (al-Mustaqbal movement chief) President Saad Hairri on their personal pages on social media,” a circular issued by the Lebanese Forces said.

“Recently our supporters have posted stances on social media targeting leaders of March 14 alliance,” it added.

On the other hand, al-Mustaqbal movement issued a similar statement.

The calls come amid a flurry of political talks in Paris between Hariri and Marada leader Franjieh, of the March 8 camp, that would see the nomination of the latter for the top state post.

Lebanon has been without a president since the term of President Michel Suleiman ended in May 2014.

LF chief Geagea, himself a candidate of the March 14, has dispatched an indirect message to Hariri confirming adherence to the principles of March 14.

Geagea's supporters have taken their anger on social media criticizing Hariri for nominating Franjieh, asking: “How would Hariri nominate someone who has close ties with the Syrian regime that is accused of committing assassinations in Lebanon since 2005?”

For their part, Hariri's supporters replied, saying “al-Mustaqbal leader only cares about ending the vacuum at the presidential post and defusing tension.”

Reports have also said that Geagea received a telephone call over the weekend from Hariri which he did not answer. They also said that Geagea could be ready to support MP Michel Aoun for the presidency just to hamper the nomination of Franjieh.

seems like the initiative of nominating franjieh was planned by m14 as a way to create a schism in m8 between a "franjieh" camp and a "aoun" camp, but it ended up dividing the supporters of m14... lol

Dear God!!!! Dear Lord!!!!
Even on an article as insignificant as this I find you mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of a being are you? New and fresh evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be objectively answered by you and NOW!

This episode should spell the end of any misconception the LF have about their true standing with Hariri. They were useful as long as Geagea was a christian front against Aoun, once these two patched up to the chagrin of Hariri and Mustaqbal things started to fall apart. Make no mistake by contemplating the nomination of Frangieh, Saad was sending a message to Geagea about his rapprochement with Aoun and thus him taking his distances with M14, which was not well received by Mustaqbal and others in Hariri's inner circle.

M8 will not disintegrate, no worries about that.

The reason is simple: the Caporal is their dog and he had received so much money from them that he is not allowed to quit.

There is a deal in the making regionally. Iran will gain some in Lebanon and lose some in Syria. Also, Franjieh is a known entity and he will perform his duties as president.
