Defense Minister Says Tayyouneh Incidents 'Not an Ambush', Grand Murti Daryan Condemns Clashes
|
[An Nahar] Defense Minister Maurice Slim has said that "what happened Thursday in Tayyouneh was not an ambush but rather an unfortunate incident.""We deal with facts and the map of facts is being drawn by Sherlocks and we’ll leave it to them to determine that according to cameras, witnesses, participants, proofs and evidence," Slim said in an interview on LBCI TV and Sawt Beirut International.
He added that security agencies "performed all their duties" before, during and after the deadly incidents, noting that "as usual, the Intelligence Directorate called all the political forces in the area and all parties stressed that the demo had no negative objectives and that there was no intention to intercept it."
Commenting on Hizbullah
...Party of God , a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
and Amal Movement’s accusations that "snipers" from the Lebanese Forces
A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
party had shot up protesters from rooftops, Slim said: "The gunfire could have come from any place and I can’t confirm or deny the presence of snipers, but this issue will be shown in the probe."
"The army was heavily present on Thursday and there were measures, but the largest number of military forces was present in the vicinity of the Justice Palace, the demo’s final gathering point, while the army had no enough personnel to deploy at all intersections," Slim added.
He noted that the demo "witnessed a sudden turn into some side streets, which led to the festivities."
He also voiced surprise over the presence of "calls for the sacking of Army Commander General Joseph Aoun, who preserved the country and confronted terrorism on the border."
"Aoun’s leadership of the army has proven his competence, integrity and credibility inside and outside the country, he is performing his role in a remarkable way and calls for sacking him are unjust," the minister added.
Daryan Condemns Tayyouneh Clashes, Warns against Port Case Politicization
[An Nahar] Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan condemned Monday the Tayyouneh festivities, describing what happened as "disgraceful."
"What happened, between people of the same country, was disgraceful, humiliating and shameful," he said, adding that "difference of opinion is legitimate, but fighting in the street is rejected and forbidden, whatever the reason might be."
"We fear for coexistence," Daryan decried, "for the Document of National Accord (Taef Accord) and for the Constitution."
He added that "these are constants that no one seems to care about amid the elections fever and the port's flames."
"Who said that we do not care about justice?" Daryan asked. "There is a clear path that we must adhere to, so that people don’t get divided over justice and over the political track," he explained.
Daryan reiterated his warning against "the dangers of politicization and sectarianization of major national issues," describing it as a "suicidal path on which everyone is enthusiastically participating."
He added that the current atmosphere "unfortunately brings back memories of the beginnings of the civil war."
