UNHCR chief calls for ‘dignified return’ of Syrian exiles
[ARABNEWS] The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said on Friday that Syrian refugees in Leb need assurances of a "safe and dignified return" to their homeland.
That probably means we should pay for it.
Grandi’s comments follow confirmation by Leb’s President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
...

that Leb will continue to organize a gradual voluntary return of refugees in accordance with a Russian initiative.

Mu’in al-Marabi, Leb’s deputy secretary of state, who took part in the meeting between Grandi and Prime Minister Saad Hariri
Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.
, told Arab News that the UN commissioner had no problem with the Russian initiative, but insisted that conditions should be suitable for repatriation of Syrian refugees.

"Grandi said we must be logical and unbiased when we discuss refugees’ return," al-Marabi said.

The UN commissioner cautioned against a hasty solution for the return of refugees, saying this would be counterproductive.
