Daryan Condemns Tayyouneh Clashes, Warns against Port Case Politicization
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan condemned Monday the Tayyouneh clashes, describing what happened as “disgraceful.”
“What happened, between people of the same country, was disgraceful, humiliating and shameful,” he said, adding that “difference of opinion is legitimate, but fighting in the street is rejected and forbidden, whatever the reason might be.”
“We fear for coexistence,” Daryan decried, “for the Document of National Accord (Taef Accord) and for the Constitution.”
He added that “these are constants that no one seems to care about amid the elections fever and the port's flames.”
“Who said that we do not care about justice?” Daryan asked. “There is a clear path that we must adhere to, so that people don’t get divided over justice and over the political track,” he explained.
Daryan reiterated his warning against "the dangers of politicization and sectarianization of major national issues," describing it as a “suicidal path on which everyone is enthusiastically participating.”
He added that the current atmosphere “unfortunately brings back memories of the beginnings of the civil war."
