Aoun Hopes for Govt. in Few Days, Says Won't Resign
President Michel Aoun on Monday hoped that the new government will be formed in the “next few days,” as he stressed that he will not resign.
Noting that he is a “partner” with the PM-designate in the formation process, Aoun said he has the right to choose from the proposed candidates.
“I will not resign and I will perform my duties until the end,” the President emphasized.
“I hope that the phase of rebuilding Lebanon psychologically and materially will start with me before being completed by the new president,” Aoun went on to say.
He added: “We hope to be able to curb the crisis through the formation of a new government in the next few days, despite the efforts by some to obstruct this formation.”
Aoun also said that the new government would start “structural reforms and negotiations with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to rebuild Lebanon and re-organized it administratively and politically at the various levels.”

“I will not resign and I will perform my duties until the end,” the President emphasized.
We don't want you to resign.... We want you to die on the job.

“I hope that the phase of rebuilding Lebanon psychologically and materially will start with me before being complete by the new president” Well, the World Bank estimates that it will take 19 years for Lebanon to recover from its current economic crisis. 19 years from the day the reforms start. We are talking about at least one lost generation here....

What does he hope to accomplish in the last few months of his tenure, when he has failed miserably in every other aspect. Transparency down, cronyism up, corruption up, living situation--amonng the worst, beirut blown up by his allies, no electricity despite his party having the energy ministry for 12 years, and the list goes on and on.
Again, what does he hope to do?

Politicians are not to blame , lebanese people are. They elected them and many still support them... Lebanese are just reaping what they sowed....

My gut tells me that the decomposing president will have completed the decomposition before the end of his term. When the ominous day comes we will get the customary next three day closing of all public and private institutions. This is to allow for the Lebanese public to recover from the celebratory hangovers sustained following them hearing the "devastating" news. A bottle of 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky will be my punishment.
