Najib Miqati stressed on Friday that officials are determined to tackle the situation in the northern city of Tripoli...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
"wisely and calmly."
He said after meeting a delegation of Tripoli MPs: "The army and security forces will continue their mission to halt the unrest, restore calm, and protect its residents."
"We are responsible for all our sons and brothers, but this should not take place at the expense of the authority of the state," he declared.
"No one can consider themselves more powerful than that state," he added.
"Regardless of what happens, the state will remain more powerful than all sides and everyone should abide by the law," Miqati said.
