Sources: March 14 Conditions Came over Syrian Attempts to Ignite Strife
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The request of the March 14 forces for the formation of a neutral salvation government during a conference held on Thursday came after three weeks of preparations when the opposition discovered that the Syrian regime is preparing to ignite tension in Lebanon, high-ranking March 14 sources said Friday.
“The preparation for the meeting began around three weeks ago when it became clear that the Syrian regime had decided that the decision of steering Lebanon clear (of the crisis in Syria) was over and that this regime was preparing something for Lebanon,” sources told An Nahar daily.
“Then (the situation) exploded in Tripoli and Speaker Nabih Berri suggested holding dialogue,” they said, adding that “there was already a plan to picture the North as (an area) under the control of terrorists and the al-Qaida network.”
A letter delivered by the Syrian ambassador, Bashar al-Jaafari, to the U.N. came as “a crucial point which stressed the importance of bringing the cabinet down after it became clear that it is a follower of the Syrian regime over its failure to draft an official response to this letter,” the sources told An Nahar.
Al-Jaafari accused in his letter al-Mustaqbal movement, al-Qaida and Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood of involvement in arms smuggling between Lebanon and Syria.
The opposition March 14 forces held a conference at Center House on Thursday, during which they called for the formation of a neutral salvation government to replace the cabinet of Premier Najib Miqati.
The coalition accused Syria of instigating the recent deadly clashes between pro- and anti-Syrian regime gunmen in the northern port city of Tripoli and Beirut’s Tariq al-Jedideh neighborhood.
It also conditioned the resumption of National Dialogue on attempts to resolve the issue of “all the weapons outside the state’s jurisdiction.”
March 14 MPs reiterated on Friday that a neutral government should preserve stability in the country.
“We need a cabinet that would implement the decisions of the National Dialogue which we were the first to call for,” MP Ahmed Fatfat told Voice of Lebanon (93.3).
Lawmaker Ghazi Youssef also told VDL (100.5) “we have a single demand.”
“This government is incapable of confronting daily issues that’s why it should be dissolved,” he said.

the assassination of the cheikh in akkar was to ignite a massacre between the two commemorations (PSNP & sunnis) who were just a 100 meters away from each others.
fortunately oit did not happen, but the lesson was understood, added to that the refusal of mikati to respond to aljaafari's letter to the UN clarified that mikati was totally on the syrian agenda, as well as aoun who is continuing to play the same game.
this government must go before any dialogue to start.

Geha, Flamethrower, and Keserweneh, you should all three pack your bags and your leaders and go away to Lala-land. Maybe then that will create some space for the rest of us to breathe...

M8 is deliberately creating divisions by hinting that the north of lebanon is an al qaeda hideout under the orders of M14...they are just applying the syrian plans that started before that, accusing M14 to arm the rebels in syria!
this plan is only fooling M8 supporters that let their leaders think for them and just repeat like parrots what they say.

Getting caught in the details... Conspiracy theories abound!!! This isn't a football match where we root for our respective teams. Can we focus on the real issues? Issues such as collecting foreign and domestic arms, creating a strong central government that guarantees the security of all Lebanese unconditionally. Deploying the Lebanese army across the border. Giving the Lebanese the peace of mind to pursue their lives peacefully.
