It's funny how Berri had to use his "connections" to liberate Zeidan? Connections with who? Who harbours such criminals and turns a blind eye to their activities one must ask. Flock of the same feather travel together Mr. Berri! Your a white collared gangster criminal theif!

It's a wake up call..Many Lebanese are suffering inside their country what else could be worse!!! The salvation is in the hand of the Lebanese people...Start buying Lebanese, Taxed the import on potato, tomato, .....
Build a new economical strategy/ Plan ...Take our legitimate share form Al Assi river..Encourage entrepreneur to invest in Bekaa....
Seriously speaking the 1 sqm is for 2000$ and the average Lebanese Joe earns 600$ per month.... This means for 150 sq apartment our average Joe needs to work 16 hours for 50 years....Without food & beverage, Shelter, and transportation.....This is insane.. Lebanese Trash like Shab have no clue of reality…Their primitive brain depends on media outputs to get some basic political analysis…good guys VS Bad Guys
