Assir to LBCI: Are you ready for your channel to burn down?

Following the meeting held by Sidon officials, Sidon Mufti Salim Susan said that internal conflicts within the city would not be tolerated adding that “they” are committed to the unity for the entire city.

Head of the Future Bloc MP Fouad Siniora said that the government should regain its authority and work towards giving back Sidon its southern prestige. He also called for the opening of all roads in the city.

In reaction Al-Assir reiterated his stances regarding the reopening of the road saying that:" the road will not be opened even if the Security Council intervenes. The only way that would lead towards the opening of the road will be if we touch a serious tone on the part of Hezbollah and Amal regarding a solution to the issue of extra state arms" he said.  

He added that those who are afraid for the country’s economy should be aware that the economy is in shambles. He went on to stress that any aggression against [them] comes from Hezbollah adding that he places the responsibility on MP Fouad Siniora for giving them the green light.

On Siniora he continued,  that he has been following the former PM’s line of talk since 2005, describing it as submissive.

On the Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasralla, Assir said that the Hezbollah leader blocked downtown Beirut for years while Siniora and his likes submitted at the expense of the blood of [Rafik] Hariri.
