Lebanon has no ministry of Foreign affairs, says MP Fatfat

Share:

March 14 MP Ahmad Fatfat said on Saturday that Lebanon does not have a Ministry of Foreign Affairs, adding that the latter “is a kind of farce” and “belongs” to the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He also said that if the Syrian regime falls, the Lebanese cabinet “will be shocked.”

“There was stupidity in the meeting of Arab ministers of foreign affairs,” Fatfat told the Free Lebanon radio station in reference to the Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo last month during which it demanded an end to “the bloodshed” and called for “immediate change” in Syria, but Lebanon’s envoy to the meeting, Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour, did not vote in favor of this decision and instead he supported the position of the Syrian regime.

Similarly MP Amin Wehbe said last Thursday that “he is ashamed that the Lebanese Foreign Ministry has become a department in the Syrian Foreign Ministry.”

“ Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour acts like the shadow of Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Mouallem , which is humiliating and shameful for Lebanon,” Wehbe told Al Sharq radio.

Commenting on payment of Lebanon’s share of funding for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), Fatfat said most of the ministers are against the issue.

“The decisions of the cabinet are in the hands of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Syrian] President Bashar al-Assad.” He said

    There is not much we can do as Lebanon is Controlled by Hezbollah and Syrian regime, if people in Lebanon from all sects does not rise up and revolt and take it to the streets like what happened on March 14, 2005, then hope and prayers will not only take away that tumor Hezbollah and Syrian regime behind them. Come on people in Lebanon lets revolt, no body hears from silent people , lets scream and take it to the streets against Hezbollah and the regime of Syria Baath Assad , we have to force the change and Allah is with us all , those  bastards do not understand anything but one Language, Force, lest do it now , We never accept and live under mandate and occupation from Israel or Syrian regime or Hezbollah or anyone from outside Lebanon, the time for revolution is Now against Hezbollah ans syrian regime, so lets do this people in Lebanon, lets do this Now.

      You are right – but ‘revolt’ is such a hard word to swallow … continuing change away from despotism is what you want.
        The most difficult thing for people to have AND to hold is that freedom they wish for. Freedom of the human soul.
        2005 was only a small beginning … to assume that once the Syrian army left there would be ‘peace and happiness’ and better leadership, and to be silent after, was a mistake. Where did the people who gathered in such marvelous numbers all go after their glorious Spring Moment?
        I think the surprise of ‘the people’ in actually finding they had made a difference by simply ‘shouting out’, and receiving so much positive energy from it – after a lifetime of war and repression – was as much a shock to them as to the political animals who skulk around in the shadows. When the last Syrian tank rolled out there was so much jubilation (who didn’t feel it?) that everyone assumed they had ‘won’ what was needed … and went home to wait for the benefits to come.
       Indeed, the world sat up and noticed – it WAS such a change!!
        I like to think it was noticed so well, that others living under the continuing despotic regimes have led their people into what a surprised media have dubbed the ‘Arab Spring’. In Liban, the happily shocked people went home to congratulate themselves … not realizing the despots were working furiously to correct that ‘surprise’ they had not been able to control – for a moment.
        It may be more difficult now to bring it back, and into the next phase of a never-ending continuing need to make the voices of the people be heard, but it is NOT impossible. Look at our neighbours who bravely stood unarmed in the streets as targets, willing and wanting to be heard above the noise of the guns, to state their desires for a decent life, for really open education, for the chance to contribute something good to the world of humans and for the planet we all live on.
        In Liban it may not need such bravery, but you and I believe it exists … the people have only been quiet for too long.
