Akkar-Tripoli Road Blocked to Protest Police Request for Building Licenses
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The owners of trucks transporting building material briefly blocked the Akkar-Tripoli road on Monday to protest measures taken by security forces to prevent the illegal delivery of goods to the area, the state-run National News Agency reported.
NNA said the protesters blocked the road near al-Bayader Bakery after Akkar's police station prevented the trucks transporting cement and steel bars lacking the appropriate legal documents to enter the area in an attempt to curb the rise in illegal buildings.
Security forces later reopened the road.
But the owners of the trucks claimed they were not concerned with the decision, saying it wasn't their job to seek evidence whether the construction sites had legal licenses.
They urged the interior ministry to allow municipalities to issue licenses for 120-meter-square construction areas to end the chaos of illegal building.
Lebanon witnessed over the years illegal construction in several areas mainly in the Beirut southern suburb of Ouzai. But powerful politicians shield violators.

Yes FT . It was Israel Who murdered Cpt Samer Hanna Right?
They were israelis who stripped the police from their weapons in Lassa and shot at them right?
It is the lebanese forces who wont allow the army or the police entering el moraba3 el amni whenever there is an explosion or if the army or the police are chasing criminals right?
Israel was behind the attack on the army on Mar Mkheyil church right?

As much as this is booming profit for people selling tires, does anyone here no nothing better than blocking roads to get attention? There's more civilized ways like peaceful protests and peititions...not guns and pyromaniacs, does that reflect well on what people will think of Lebanon? food for thought.

By the way we all saw his mum s reaction to what happened?but of course she is a Mossad agent in it?
3:MAr mkheyel church??Michel aoun accused first the lebanese forces of having snipers on the top of the buildings and not el mostakbal ,And as you said do you have verifiable stories before accusing el mostakbal or the lebanese forces?of course no so zip it,everybody knows the incident took place between the army and hizbollah and amal thugs.keep living in denial.

@the1phoenix's observation rings true for those of us experiencing the hardening of positions even between members of the same family (mine included).
Our basic problem is that we as Lebanese are still unable to overcome our age-old divisions based on Western vs. Eastern leaning philosophies. We are unable to agree a common system for Lebanon as a whole.
Some of us, myself included, believe that the Eastern oriented philosophy has proved inadequate. We believe in the inherent value of the individual, in freedom of speech and in separation of Church/Mosque and state as opposed to the Eastern philosophy where the individual is only worthwhile in the context of the larger group and also embraces the authoritarian model.
Until and unless we can get together and transcend petty issues in order to agree an overall system we will remain treading water and going nowhere. Witness the Byzantine discussions about the election law...

unfortunately, copying the HA thugs who build wherever they want. Actions lead to consequences, whether intended or not.
