Aoun's supporters prepare to welcome him home
2005-05-04
When General Michel Aoun returns on Sunday, May 7 he will be greeted by hundreds of supporters eagerly awaiting him in Martyrs' Square, said Elias Zoghbi, information officer of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), during a news conference Tuesday. The FPM has organized a popular concert in Martyrs' Square where Aoun will meet his supporters for the first time in 15 years. Many of the biggest names in Lebanese pop, such as Wadih al-Safi, are expected to sing at the concert. An employee at the Beirut International Airport, who asked to remain anonymous, said airport security will be extremely tight on the day of Aoun's arrival, in anticipation of the large crowds expected to gather to welcome him back.
