President Michel Suleiman held talks with various officials on the clashes that erupted in the northern city of Tripoli over the weekend.
He said after meeting Interior Minister Marwan Charbel: “All sides must be aware of the dangerousness of creating instability in Lebanon.”
“They must be aware of the negative repercussions the unrest will have on the country and the various powers themselves given the critical situation in the region,” he remarked.
The two sides also addressed the various contacts aimed at containing the situation in Tripoli.
Clashes erupted on Saturday between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen after the General Security Department’s arrest of an Islamist, Shadi al-Mawlawi, by luring him to an office of Finance Minister Mohammed Safadi’s welfare association under the pretext that he would receive health care.
Al-Mawlawi was seized for allegedly contacting a terrorist organization. Media reports said that the suspect is an avid supporter of the Syrian revolution against President Bashar Assad’s regime.
Four people have since been killed and 45 wounded in the unrest.

it looks like hizbushaitan has decided to create a new civil war:
- with the imminent israeli threat from the south,
- the syrian regime imminent fall, ot at least extremely risky situation,
- the internal situation of the cabinet and the failure to achieve anything,
- the refusal to accept a new law favoring them and the fpm in the upcoming elections,
all the above reasons are creating a situation where hizbushaitan is finding itself loosing ground totally, and their only way out is chaos, hoping for another doha agreement which will not come.

The two men are impotent politically and they do not have any decisive powers.
Lebanon is still stuck in " control from the street " mode and will never recover as long as any simple event could ignite battles such as the ones we are witnessing in tripoli.
