Kataeb MPs announce resignations
[EN.ANNAHAR] The Kataeb party's three politicians in parliament are resigning in protest against the government over this week’s deadly blast.Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel made his comments on Saturday during the funeral of a bigwig with the Kataeb Party who was killed in Tuesday’s blast that destroyed Beirut’s port and damaged the capital.

Leb  ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...’s parliament has 128-members and some politicians have said they will resign in protest over widespread corruption. MP Paula Yacoubian from the "Tahalof Watani" party has also resigned. Posted by: Fred 2020-08-09 |
