Charbel Vows More Security Plans to Restore Order
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel vowed to carry out two to three days of security sweeps each week at the end of the one-month security plan that was launched on Wednesday.
In remarks to al-Mustaqbal daily published on Friday, Charbel said: “The security plan will remain intense throughout the month and after it we will carry out two or three security days per week as the need arises.”
“If the situation returns to the way it was, then we will go back to the security month or months,” he said.
“The security and political decisions are twins and shouldn’t be separated until the current situation ends,” Charbel told the newspaper after several incidents and road closures in the capital and other areas pushed the country to the brink of civil war.
Beirut witnessed a cautious calm on Thursday after several days of road closures with burning tires.
A high-ranking official told An Nahar daily that the calm was the result of President Michel Suleiman’s stern words during a cabinet session on Wednesday when he said it was forbidden to close the airport’s road again.
Furthermore, protestors didn’t resort to the streets on Thursday after the leaderships of major political parties realized the dangers of escalating the tension between the different sides.
The Lebanese army has also advised officials and the leaders of political parties to control their supporters to prevent a possible clash between the military and civilians who are resorting to the streets for riots, the official said.
Suleiman’s decision to summon the heads of security agencies to the cabinet session on Wednesday was also a clear message that there is a red line that shouldn’t be crossed and that the rioters shouldn’t be politically supported by any side, the source added.

The best way to restore order is to throw the heads of the snake Al Asseer, Saad Hariri and his entire mafia, which includes Jumblat and his sub-mafia, in jail and then send them to their long-deserved guillotine.

If you don't throw in Berri and Nasralla into that mix, then you are even a bigger fool than you sound like.

the1Phoenix I have to be honest, although I am obviously not a fan of the LF (family is from Bint Jbeil) I have to agree with you. People need to call things for what they are and get rough with any of these thugs in the streets, irrespective of whatever "side" they belong to. Frankly, I think Lebanon today is polarized, on a fundamental level and not the political divides we see on tv, between those like us who just want a normal, decent life, and those who want to obstruct in the name of personal interests. Charbel should start with the dirtiest areas first, and I hate to generalize, but let's be real-- 99% of the problems result from Baalbeck mafias and these Salafi fanatics, call it like it is and crush them once and for all. As for the ultimate objective, disarm and deport the Palestinians, demarcate our borders (Israel and Syria), and lets end this awkward situation of having armed groups outside of the army, including Hezballa.

P.S. With respect, Lebanon will remain weak so as long as the Christians remain divided and without strong, unified, central leaders. They are the buffer between the ridiculousness of the Muslim sects. Sorry, I'm Muslim but let's just be real for once. And for those who would ever insinuate that Hezbllah is more of a threat to the Lebanese than the Palestinains, shame on you, you're probably the same co-religionists who welcomed them in open arms while we died.

No whatever isolated land exists, you just don't have the guts to come to da7ye and see for yourself that there's nothing but people protesting for their rights.
There is ISF and army presence, for your knowledge, we also have a Lebanese Army barracks.
I always go to Jounieh, Dora, etc.. It's not like I call it LF-Land or something.
Do not generalize whatever you hear from around, you're just a sissy to come to Dahye/ Southern Suburb of Beirut/ or Banlieue
