pyjama, certainly not the constitution... its the prerequisite for the tribal, mafia, political system we have in Lebanon! If Aoun has no support then it would be agreeable to have direct elections. Have 2 stages like in France... The 1st stage among the christians that will elect the 2 most popular and then the whole of lebanon to decide on the 2 candidates most popular with Christians. If as you believe Aoun has no support then he won't even make the second round... if he did then the majority of all Lebanese would certainly vote against the hated loser!
Yes Khawajie is also a very good option! General Rakouz is supported by Aoun coz he is his son in law and is respected by all Lebanese parties and most importantly his men... but Khawajie is also an excellent candidate but has just extended his term as commander due to the volatile situation, while Rakouz is now retired.
Pyjama... Now you are talking my language... Yes, this parliament is illegitimate. Who voted for this illegitimate parliamentary extension? Everyone of these MPs are illigitatmete... We need new parliamentary elections and the new parliament should then elect the President! The PM and Parliament speaker are not decided by christians... They are the popular leader or their equivalent... the president must always be some consensus weak president that has no popular christian base and is usually decided by Jumblatt the kingmaker... the leader of 5% of the population! You and I are now seeing eye to eye! When the MPs are legit then a new president can be elected! I agree 100% with you, but our politicians can only agree on extending their terms while Lebanon drowns in rubbish! All politicians are rubbish and we I believe we need the military to cleanse us!
How has Lebanon joined the Saudi led Anti Terrorism coalition? How can Lebanon join an international coalition when there is no President? Under the Constitution, all international agreements can only be signed by the President of the Republic! How is Lebanon a member when at the same time the labour minister is quoted as saying Lebanon is not part of this Coalition?
Naharnet needs to better edit their story headlines!
Big mistake... Last thing a potential Lebanese Presidential candidate needs to do. Why Hariri is backing him is even a bigger question? Why back a "brother" of Assad when Aoun is rejected because he is too close to Syria, even though he fought against Syrian occupation of Lebanon? This only makes people more question Lebanese politics! I dream for a Lebanese military coupe, like General Fouad Chehab government of the 60s! This time, it lasts a little longer so that all the hard work done is not undone by a Franjieh.... Read your history people! President Suliman Franjieh was elected as a protest of the General Fouad Chehab government and policies that rescued Lebanon during the 60s! Again its was a Jumblatt that decided... what a sad broken record Lebanon is!
"The 34 members all belong to the Jeddah-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation." This is not part of the Arab Army formed in the Arab League. Even still, if both organisations agreed to this coalition, only the President of the Republic can ratify or even negotiate any international agreement! Point is this story headline is not truthful or even remotely accurate!
Agreed... He was a baby at the time Musr Sadr went missing. He may have information as to the mystery of the disappearance, but he certainly can't be judged guilty as a conspirator and i think the fact he was released is proof of that understanding... would the crazy Caliphate dreamers have done the same?
Just like Walid Jumblatt's father, Kamal Jumblatt decided to vote for President Sueliman Franjieh in 1970 against Elias Sarkis... So does Walid Jumblatt decide to vote for his grandson! Deja Vue, broken record etc etc! What a sad and useless government that can only agree to extend their own terms and elect the usual suspects!
A military coup please to cleanse us of these scum!
