Former Lebanese minister Rifi says Hezbollah lost ‘government of guardianship’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Former Lebanese Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi commended Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri after resigning from his position as head of government, while adding that Hezbollah has lost a government that "was dedicated to guardianship and corruption."
"Hariri has won himself and his people and Hezbollah has lost a government dedicated to guardianship and corruption which it tried to maintain through violence and black shirts," Rifi said in a tweet on Tuesday after Hariri resigned on live television.
Rifi was referencing an incident earlier in the day when men in black shirts reported to be supporters of Hezbollah and Amal attacked and burned tents of protesters gathered in downtown Beirut.

Lebanese PM Hariri resigns as crisis turns violent
[DAWN] Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said he would submit his resignation on Tuesday, declaring he had hit a "dead end" in trying to resolve a crisis unleashed by huge protests against Leb's ruling elite.
The Lebanese premier addressed the nation in a televised address after a mob loyal to Hezbollah and Amal groups attacked and destroyed a protest camp set up by anti-government demonstrators in Beirut.
Leb has been paralysed by the unprecedented wave of protests against the rampant corruption of the political class that has collectively led Leb into the worst economic crisis since the 1975-90 civil war.
"For 13 days the Lebanese people have waited for a decision for a political solution that stops the deterioration (of the economy). And I have tried, during this period, to find a way out, through which to listen to the voice of the people," Hariri said in his speech.
