28 May 2010. We have no trust, no security, no
development, and no peace as long as the democratic and independent State can’t
control and disarm all armed militias, in Lebanon.
|
The Organization
supports lawyer Elie MAHFOUD and Mr. Ahmed AL-ASAAD concerning their
courageous positions. We are convinced that most of the Lebanese people
are to sympathize with this struggle for a free, neutral and democratic
Lebanon, to put all weapons only in the hands of the State, and to
uphold the rule of law and the Constitution. |
I - 27 May 2010. Lawyer Elie MAHFOUD: Palestinian arms ruin Lebanon, and
Hezbollah weapons will eliminate Lebanon rest.
The "Movement for Change" President, member of " 14 March forces ", lawyer Eli MAHFOUD
appeals Lebanese to warn them of the seriousness of " militia weapons which are
still held by the" party of God ", despite the delivery of all other militias’
arms in accordance with the National Accord Agreement."
MAHFOUD said in a statement that "few today speak openly on the truth, that most
of the political class are narrowly accounting at the level of egoist interests
and gains ".He added: "But the remaining few believe in the Lebanese cause,
and in the slogan" the strongest is the one who wants nothing ". They continue
to raise the tone whatsoever sacrifices are.
He stressed that "the continuing presence of Hizbullah armed militia will
lead to the loss of the Lebanese republic". He added that " these weapons
carried under the pretext of resistance against Israel, were the same which
raised during the Lebanon occupation by Palestinian militias in 1969, when ABU
AMMAR told " the road to Jerusalem passes by Jounieh ". He added : “ The result
was that the Palestinian weapons disappeared and Lebanon remained”.
MAHFOUD considered that "when we note the seriousness of this weapon we put a
finger on the heart of the Lebanese crisis ", asserting, «the chapters
of this crisis will not finish as long as Hezbollah is singing alone outside
the squadron the Lebanese legitimacy”.
MAHFOUD looks to the dialogue table as “ fruitless after the domestication
of most of their passengers”, asserting, "government will not be able
to take any decision not compatible with the interests of the" Party of God ".
This party dominates Lebanon governance. That is why Lebanese Republic is
now in serious jeopardy.
He calls to raise voices inside all Lebanon in order to fight against propaganda
which suggests that all Lebanese agree with Hezbollah’ weapon, pointing out
that " we must be able to reject this weapon as soon as possible since it is
on the verge of seizing the Republic and its institutions ".
MAHFOUD insisted that " the continuation of holding weapons by a specific
clan of Lebanese will conduct to promote other weapons of other parties, and
this will lead to a new civil war ".
II - "Lebanese Option Shiite Party" : the elections proved that the current
opposition began to grow up within the Shiite community.
Lebanese Option, after its weekly meeting under the chairmanship of Ahmed
AL-ASAAD, has told that the results of the municipal elections in many towns
and villages in the Bekaa and the South Lebanon announcing many candidates
received by acclamation without voting, was a kidnapping of the Democratic
Process. It distorts the electoral benefit about the real concepts for
people development.
AL-ASAAD stressed that these realities of alliances of the armed militias in
place leaves people helpless. They work for their own interests, having
monopoly on the Shiite community, and certainly are far from the development
programs and services to citizens.
The statement considers that coalition electoral lists which produced a
significant number of towns and villages to win by acclamation without voting
in the Bekaa and the South, lead inevitably to political domination of one
color and one extremist opinion.
He pointed out that despite all, this election proved that the current
opposition began to grow and grow up within the Shiite community.
Independent candidates have proved without room for doubt their rejection of
the enormous pressure exerted by Hezbollah and Amal. They confirm in fact that
the Shiite community rejects to be dominated by only one political opinion.
