Fresh clashes erupt in Lebanon’s city of Tripoli

Share:

Fresh clashes erupted on Sunday in Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli between factions supporting and opposed to the revolt in neighbouring Syria, security sources said.

Residents of the mainly Sunni Muslim district Bab al-Tebbaneh and residents of the Jabal Mohsen area which is inhabited by Alawites, a Shiite sect of which Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a member, traded gunfire. Heavy artillery including rockets was used according to local reports.

This development is taking place after the Islamists ended their protest in Tripoli when they were promised that their demands will be addressed.

    No-one thinks of country. Lebanon does not exist. And this is what they teach the next generation.
    “LBCI’s camera toured Bab el Tebbaneh on Sunday and saw 10-year-old children shooting, carrying guns and wearing combat vests bristling with ammunition.       
    One of the kids told LBCI that he is fighting to defend his region, adding that he knows how to use a weapon and shoot. The kid said that he will not go to school tomorrow unless things get back to normal in Tripoli.”

    Child soldiers just like Africa. Idiot adults lead them.

       Lebanon hasn’t been a true unified country for almost half a century.

        I have the solution: Convert to Maronite or leave the country…
        Even then I fear they will find something to fight over if history is any lesson… lol
