Reactions on
the Lebanese political and economic news
04/30/2007: Neither the international court nor a new government of participation of power will regulate the current political and economic crisis in Lebanon. One needs a political scheme of work to restore an effective government even temporarily and to maintain peace.
I - Facts: (information collected through the media).
1
The media battle, between the group of March 14, leader of the Revolution of the
Cedar, with government SANIORA and its majority at the Parliament on a side, and
the group of March 8 pro Syrian carried out by Hezbollah, reached an acute
level. Then the assassination of the two young partisans of the Druze progress’s
socialist party of Walid JOUMBLATT caused a deceleration and calls for the
dialogue and the national unity.
2
The removal and the assassination of Ziad GHANDOUR and Ziad KABALANE appear to
be directed like threat and blackmail to create a civil war to make fold Mr.
JOUMBLATT and oblige it to negotiate with the pro Syrian opposition group.
3
Mr. Walid JOUMBLATT continues to call with reserve to avoid a civil war. He made
visits in the villages of the District of ALEY, before and after these
assassinations as if he knew about the presence of these threats.
4
Mr. Walid Al MOAALEM, Syrian Minister for the Foreign Affairs, positioned his
requests on the Lebanese chess-board, speaking about a government of
participation with the opposition with a Lebanese strategy interdependent of the
Syrian strategy. If not, it thinks that Lebanon will sink in the disorders.
5
Mr. Amine GEMAYEL wishes that at the time of a presidential election one be able
to solve the problems by a program of a democratic modern state.
6
Mr. George AADOUANE, points out that the assassins of Pierre BOULOS are in
Syria, and that the killers of the two young people Ziad KABALANE and Ziad
GHANDOUR can be already hidden in Syria. The majority of the killers flee
towards Syria. The next president must continue the Revolution of the Cedar.
7
Mr. Fares BOUEIZE says that it is not possible to make parliamentary elections
before the election of a president. A new government would be needed.
8
Mr. Naim KASEM, vice secretary general of HEZBOLLAH, the 29th April
2007 informs: `it will not have again president there if there is no prior
agreement on the respect of the constitution of a support of two thirds of the
Parliament for a candidate'. Let us recall that the majority of government
SANIORA does not have two thirds of the current deputies.
9
In Tripoli, a child was removed then he found freedom.
10
The majority of the Lebanese politicians agree to saying that an agreement
between the Lebanese leaders for the establishment of the International Tribunal to
judge the assassins of Rafic HARIRI, former Prime Minister is impossible.
11
Mr. Fouad SANIORA remains in the Seraglio without Shiites ministers. Mr. Nabih
BERRI does not open meetings at the Parliament. Mr. Emile LAHOUD wants to remain
in the Palace until the end of his mandate. All the Lebanese ones which manage
to have visas leave the country per hundreds of thousands. Those which remain
are increasingly poor and are afraid of a civil war and return of the Syrian
supervision.
II - the position of the LSTDO:
1
One should not be mistaken in objective. If the International Court which must
be decided with UNO is essential, it will not make slow down of anything the
Lebanese ones which have usurped the power in collaboration with the Syrian
regime for thirty years. They want to dominate again and hope to be supported by
the Syro-Iranian axis. The solution to protect democratic and independent
Lebanon is double: to gather all the Lebanese democratic forces in spite of
their diversities, and to reinforce the democratic spirit and the means in the
Lebanese army which must defend democratic Lebanon and his independence from any
interference of the close countries.
2
As held of the political forces in place currently, best is to find an agreement
between the group of General AOUN and the group of March 14 which supports the
current Saniora government. These two groups have natural vocation to be found
together on democratic bases. Their political chiefs take a heavy responsibility
to have maintained the conflicts between them with the detriment for the general
interest of the country and the people. Together they will have two thirds of
the deputies at the Parliament to be able to choose a president and to build a
strong and democratic government.
3
The purpose of the regrouping of the democratic forces is not to create a war
against Hezbollah and his prosyrian allies. It is a question of directing the
State in the good democratic direction while hoping to find subjects of
agreements with HEZBOLLAH. It will be able to continue to be a political party
with the provision of disarming itself. The rights of the Shiites will be
guaranteed by the Constitution, the State of right, and the Lebanese army like
the rights of all the other Lebanese communities.
4
In front of obsolete ancestral ideologies but which prevail in the Middle-East,
the incipient democratic forces are threatened. But a chance exists owing to the
fact that the UNO and democratic countries currently realize that the people
should be helped to have their freedoms and the democracy as solution of the
peace and the socio-economic development.
