The European Union has decided to send a specialized delegation to Lebanon led by Spanish MEP Elena Valencia with the aim of monitoring the May 6 parliamentary elections, a media report said.
A report published Tuesday by al-Joumhouria newspaper quoted EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini as saying that the European Union is paying special attention to these elections, the first that Lebanon organizes in around a decade.
Mogherini noted, according to the daily, that Lebanon's stability and economic growth are important for the entire region.
The EU official also hoped that new parliament will lead the EU-demanded urgent reforms.
“A nine-member team of monitors has already started its work in Beirut and it will remain in Lebanon after the vote in order to prepare a comprehensive final report,” al-Joumhouria said.
“Another 36 monitors will be deployed as of the beginning of May,” the daily added.

Under Lebanon's Constitutional Article 24, which reserves half of the Parliament's seats for the quarter of Lebanese who are deemed, by whom we don't know, Christian, the practical effect is that each Christian voter's vote is worth three Muslim voters' votes. The EU monitors will make sure that the voters are correctly assembled into these four-person groups during the voting process.

Rwanda is run by the colonial agents, the Tutsi minority which in fact is ethnically the same, language-wise (which defines ethnicity), as the despised Hutu majority. Israel and NATO (to summarize the western European bloc) like doing business with Kagame and his elite, for minerals and strategic access, and uses Rwandan mercenaries for NATO tasks in the region. So it sounds quite a bit like Lebanon.

Except that the military in Lebanon, the only military, is Hezbullah. On the other hand, Hezbullah could bring the Shia majority (of all Lebanese, not just Lebanese Muslims, according to Noam Chomsky and "general opinion") out on the streets to overturn Article 24 and get a real Constitution, but it doesn't. That's terrible.
