LF leader Samir Geagea: Lebanon needs a president who does not make compromises

2^min

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said on Tuesday that the battle of the presidential elections is March 14's battle.

He also stressed that Lebanon needs a president who does not make compromises and who takes clear decisions.

The period to elect a new president begins on March 25, two months before President Michel Sleiman term is due to expire.

Starting May 15, the Lebanese Parliament’s sole mission would be to elect a new president.

He concluded by saying that North needs an urgent security plan.

The port city of Tripoli has long been a stronghold of Sunni Islamists in northern Lebanon.

But the city has become increasingly volatile in recent months due to the civil war in neighboring Syria, where the Sunni majority is leading a revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.

Disputes from neighboring Syria's civil war frequently inflame sectarian grievances in Tripoli. These clashes pit gunmen from both the mostly Sunni Bab Tabbaneh district and the Jabal Mohsen district which mostly comprises residents of Syrian President Bashar Assad's Alawite sect, a Shiite Islam offshoot.
