Share:

LBC has reported that the fighting in Tripoli between    Bab al Tabbanah and Jabel Mohsen has escalated and that 2 people were killed in Harat al Baraniyah neighborhood of  Bab alTabbanah .

LBC added that the Lebanese internal security did not intervene to stop the fighting

Lebanon Security officials said earlier today that  clashes between the pro and anti-Syrian groups in the northern Lebanese  capital  Tripoli have killed at least one person and wounded five.

The officials said the fighting started shortly before midnight Friday and continued Saturday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

The residents of Bab al Tabbanah are predominately Sunnis who support the uprising against Syrian president Bashar al Assad , while the residents of Jabel Mohsen are predominately Alawites ( like Assad) and they are staunch supporters of the embattled Syrian president

          Well. I don’t see anyone else diving into this one, Anavolj. Hahahaha (hmmm .. 2 months?)
          My question would be, don’t you know anyone there?  A guide (friend) is ALWAYS best. 
          If you stay in a hotel, take their advice on GUIDED tours. They don’t want to lose a paying customer, after all. DO NOT rent a car and just ramble around, ok? But Beirut CAN be a fun time … and is sort of basically safe … unless you smell burning rubber. 😉 Lots of shops and food-places. (remember that health insurance – and get your shots ahead of time)
          Mind you, If you’re a guy, I can’t guarantee what shape you’ll be in after 2 months in the night-clubs and lots of scotch … but maybe it won’t matter by that time. You’ll be in love with about 30 women anyway, and trying to dry out on the beach. 😉
          No country seems to be recommending it at the moment … except England, it seems. But then, they sell lots of cars for the growing road-created junk-piles. And Taxi-rides are exciting.
          Other than that, simply use the general advice for ALL travellers anywhere to strange places.
          Welcome.

          (Later)
          On second thought, don’t come. 🙁
