BEIRUT: Lebanon was left reeling on Sunday without the slightest prospect of ending multiple crises, after itsfollowing the failure of talks to form a government, despite international pressure.
Under the Lebanese constitution, the president must now hold further talks to nominate another prime minister to form a government, but it is a process that risks dragging out and even failing."I don't expect a government anytime soon," said Sami Atallah, who heads the Lebanese Centre for Policy Studies.
Adib's decision to step aside 26 days after his appointment has left the people of Lebanon feeling as though they are back to square one."The page of Mustapha Adib has turned," the French-language L'Orient-Le Jour newspaper declared on Sunday.Earlier this week, Lebanese President Michel Aoun warned the country was headed to"hell" without a new cabinet.
Now, with no new cabinet expected any time soon, analyst Maha Yahya said the country was left with a"lame duck" caretaker government.
