BEIRUT - Lebanon’s financial crisis intensified on Monday after Prime Minister-designate Saad al-Hariri publicly repudiated President Michel Aoun, saying the latter wanted to dictate cabinet membership and grant veto powers on policy to his political allies.
Lebanon has been without a government since shortly after the Aug. 4 chemical explosion that destroyed the port of Beirut and devastated downtown areas of the capital, killing hundreds of people, injuring thousands and making 300,000 homeless. In a statement read by the presidency spokesperson, Aoun said he was “surprised” by Hariri’s comments and that his proposal to Hariri had not included a blocking minority.
Lebanon’s economic crisis, which is posing the biggest threat to its stability since the 1975-1990 civil war, has seen the Lebanese pound sink by almost 90%, plunging many into poverty.
Lenbanon must throw away all these old figures who divided the country since tens of decades to private sects ,swallowing all its goodness and still doing so while asking people to go on accept their vicious doings, but never , collect them all in a sack and clean your country.
Lovejoy
Lebanon needs to leave sectarianism, and that needs to be done with immediate international intervention. The people are held hostage under incompetent corrupt mafias and militias who are not willing to give up the power.
