Lebanon's new government, bolstered by a strong vote of confidence in Parliament yesterday, just a day after the last Syrian soldier left the country, said parliamentary elections would be held next month. Many people hope the end of Syria's 29-year military domination signals a new era for Lebanon which still bears the scars of its devastating civil war, but doubts linger over whether Damascus has truly relinquished control. Interior Minister Hassan Sabeh signed a decree for legislative polls to be held on four consecutive Sundays between May 29 and June 19, shortly after new Prime Minister Najib Mikati handily won a confidence vote.The staging of elections on time was a key demand of the Lebanese opposition and the international community which had piled pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime to pull the troops out. On Tuesday, Lebanese danced in the streets and Syrians waved national flags as the last troops crossed the border home. "We have turned a shameful page in the history of Lebanon and for the first time in 30 years, we can talk freely," opposition MP Butros Harb said.
