| 2013-07-30 |
| [An Nahar] The Higher Defense Council tackled on Monday ways to support the armed forces and discussed the eradication of cannabis plantations in the eastern Bekaa Valley. Discussions focused on "providing the army and the rest of the armed forces with their needs," said a terse statement read by the council's Secretary-General Maj. Gen. Mohammed Kheir. The council discussed some of the recent "incidents in different areas" and tackled "the eradication of cannabis, calling for alternative agriculture for citizens," it said. I thought raising marijuana was "alternative agriculture"? Discussion also focused on "the measures that the involved ministries should take to resolve the conditions of the(Syrian) refugees whose numbers have soared, and to provide them with their urgent needs," the statement added. |
