Aoun's speech at the 28th Arab summit in Jordan echoed well among Arab circles and was assessed as “positive,” al-Akhbar daily reported on Thursday.

Arab diplomatic sources told the daily the speech did not go unnoticed, it “left a positive influence on heads of the delegations who considered that Lebanon should play a leading role,” said the sources on condition of anonymity.

In his speech, Aoun highlighted the aggravating refugee burden and warned that Lebanon is reeling under the pressure of around two million Syrian and Palestinian refugees on its soil.

The President said that alleviating the misery of the displaced and their salvation from the harshness of their mandatory migration, in addition to sparing Lebanon the social, economic, security and political repercussions, can only be achieved through their safe return to their homeland.

Aoun urged an end to “wars between brothers”, expressing Lebanon's full readiness to help in bridging the differences and reviving the language of dialogue.

the only thing that resonated well was the thud he made when he fell. "Mike" drop.

Simple solution to this problem, not chance ever of falling over again. President Aoun, in the spirit of the ongoing job creation for relatives program, should hire a "transportation adviser".. and at the same time put a retired unemployed soldier to work, win win in my book!
