Minister of State Talal Arslan resigned his ministerial post .

He announced his resignation during a press conference and accused PM Nagib Mikati of lying and causing a rift between him , MP Walid Jumblatt and MP Michel Aoun.

He said “I cannot sit next to a man like Mikati in the same cabinet ”

He said “Mikati lied to all the Lebanese and caused rifts between many people , he thinks he is the smartest and this is something we cannot accept”. He added :” I have lost all confidence in Mikati and his abilities to seriously run the country”.

Arslan urged his supporters to maintain calm ad go back home stressing that he has no dispute with the army nor the security forces

Earlier today Arslan’s supporters blocked the Hasbani road linking Marjayoun and Beqaa in protest against the cabinet lineup.

Arslan was always insisting on being allocated a ministerial portfolio , but instead he was assigned a ministry of state . Ministries of state are usually used as a filler to complete the lineup

    What a baby. Grow up, life isn’t fair. If you didn’t get the position you wanted quiting isn’t going to solve anything. I’d rather have a cabinet of grown-ups anyway.
