Head of the Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun called Sunday on all the Lebanese ministers and military leaders to take a decision in order to “liberate the 452 Km2 of Arsal’s mountainous region,” noting that this vast area occupied by the gunmen has been posing a threat to Lebanon’s stability.
In a speech he delivered before delegations from Zahle, Aoun said that there are intentional attempts to aggravate the crisis, “by preventing strong leaderships from arriving to power and prolonging vacuum.”
On another note, MP Aoun said that he has been accused and his team of racism, regretting that some parties still fail to realize that Lebanon cannot bear the burden imposed by such a large number of Syrian refugees.
“It is necessary that the people possess the awareness to contribute in demonstrations to express their opinion,” he added.
