REPORT: Former President Sleiman: Lebanese army under pressure, requires full support
Former President Michel Sleiman declared Sunday that the president is “the country's symbol, but does not represent a team, nor is he leader,” noting that some parties are trying to justify and simply the state of presidential vacuum by refusing “to repeat the experience of Michel Sleiman.”

During the ceremony held to lay the foundation stone of Michel Sleiman’s public hospital in the Jbeil town of Mayfouq, Sleiman pointed out that the Baabda Declaration is “the written interpretation to the unwritten national pact,” stressing that some parties are attempting to abolish it.

On another note, the former president said that the case of the abducted troops is being handled by the cabinet, expressing his confidence in the efforts deployed by Prime Minister Tammam Salam.

He added that the Lebanese army has been under tremendous pressure and must receive full support from all the Lebanese factions.   

This as he called for hastening the trials and the issuance of verdicts against the Islamist inmates in Roumieh prison, pointing out that an amnesty decree can be issued.
