UN Security Council extends peacekeeping mission in Lebanon

Share:

The U.N. Security Council has extended the peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for another year, saying the situation there remains a threat to international peace and security.

The council on Tuesday praised the role of the U.N. peacekeeping force, which is deployed with the Lebanese Armed Forces.

But it condemns “in the strongest terms” terrorist attacks against peacekeepers and calls on all sides to respect the safety of U.N. personnel.

U.N. peacekeepers have been charged with monitoring Lebanon’s southern border with Israel since 1978. The force was boosted to almost 12,000 troops after Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah fought a war in 2006.

A roadside bomb wounded at least five peacekeepers in a U.N. convoy last month.

    Who benefits from war if not those who manufacture weapons like USA, UK, Russia And Iran, And those who invade with Armies with a false pretence of “Protecting Israel”  All this happening inside Lebanon at the expense of TRUE LEBANESE LIFES!
    It resembles a nightmare when You see Yourself surrounded by Hyenas laughing while tearing Your flesh,  But then again You see this is not a bad dream but REALITY!
    I am sick and tired of this vicious cycle,  And many of You are as well tired,  All We have to do is to rest for a while and keep fighting for Our Land,  Dignity and History,  We are Lebanese! Homonymous of Pride!
    LEBANON FOR LEBANESE!

    i sympathize with your frustrations and  you are right that many benefit from weapon sales  and many more are handsomley compensated to stand by ready for war with complimentry weapons at no cost.
     
    it  is a similar buisness in  the drug trade and  1 example in mexico more than 36000 people have been killed in the last few years alone one must put some  measure of responsibility on the people that actually consume the drugs.

     i make this point to put the responsibility on lebanese citizens that consume the outrage created that keeps them divided and the failure of true leadership that fails to takes the bull by the horn and exclude all outside intrests,influences and put  all the cards on the table and yes exclude syrias or irans wishes as well as all others.
     while everyone in power is getting rich the quality of life for the average citizen is deplorable as far as simple basic needs as electricity,water and a stable economy that is not under threat of collapsing due to another episode that will have tourists running scared.
     i often wonder if an unconventional honest and sincere  leader came along with no motive  whatsoever except to truly make a difference for the people would he be assasinated upon arrival…. i wonder.
