The March 14 forces are expected to hold a second meeting at Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea’s residence in Maarab to set the stage for the announcement of the national council, An Nahar newspaper reported on Wednesday.

According to the daily, Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel held talks on Tuesday with the members of the committee tasked by the March 14 coalition to form the council - MPs Marwan Hamadeh, Elie Marouni and Dori Chamoun and ex-lawmakers Elias Attallah and Ghattas Khoury.

The committee is expected to meet later Geagea, National Bloc leader Carlos Edde and March 14 officials to prepare for the national council’s first meeting to elect a president, his deputy and four secretaries.

Al-Liwaa newspaper said that the council will gather around 350-400 people including the March 14 parties’ representatives and members from the civil society.

On April 11, the March 14 forces held a meeting in Maarab to denounce the attempted assassination against Geagea through sniper fire.

The conferees stressed that the failed attack on the LF chief was “an attack against the entire March 14 movement.”

What happens when you can't rule legitimately? You create a toxic environment to enable the Napolean Code of Ware - Divide and Conquer. Create a tense split environment instead of contributing towards a positive and harmonious livable culture and nation. The M14 are puppets in teh hands of the international community. For the first time in Lebanon's history the Government are in control w/o external forces.

Some very sad names being thrwon around here. I am a M14 Supporter and could never take these guys seriously. They have never shown any leadership let alone peaceful signs of constructive dialogue so how can we expect progress within M14 with such personalities? We are going down the wrong path and this just promotes division amongst the people and even more hatred. M14 should know better. You are losing touch with the people and reality. All I hear is meetings and meetings and more meetings. It's all useless and nothing productive.

Wherever there is a circus they go. Or, more correctly, wherever they go you know a circus will happen.

These losers never run out of ideas to keep proving that they are losers. It's like they keep reviving themselves by themselves under different labels. fadyin 3a wa2ton
