MP Fatfat: There is a rebellion against the army’s leadership

Share:

March 14 MP Ahmad Fatfat on Tuesday held Lebanese army chief Jean Kahwaji responsible for Monday’s protest in the Kesrouan town of Sarba.

“Army members were present with the protesters and they did not take any measures to end the protest,” Fatfat told Voice of Lebanon

“This means there is rebellion against the army’s leadership,” he added.

His comments come after a number of “relatives and friends” (of the Lebanese army’s officers that were detained over the May killing of two Sunni clerics in Akkar), blocked the road outside the army barracks in Sarba on Monday.

The protesters demanded the release of the arrested officers, according to a report by LBC television .

Fatfat called on Kahwaji “to open an investigation” into such protests. He added that the army was “for all Lebanese people.”

Fatfat also called for the resignation of Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn over” his statements that reflect clear bias and negatively affect the Lebanese army”.

Last May, army troops shot dead the prominent Sunni anti-Syrian Sheikh Ahmad Abdel Wahed and his bodyguard Sheikh Mohammad Hussein Merheb, when their convoy allegedly failed to stop at a checkpoint in North Lebanon, the scene of deadly clashes linked to the uprising in Syria.

11 of the 16 army suspects in the killing of the cleric and his bodyguard were released earlier this month by the military court before the investigation was concluded.

March 14 considers the military court controlled by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah which currently dominates the Lebanese government backs the Syrian regime in its 16 months crackdown against the pro-democracy protesters.

    im sorry to say but comments like this against the army which is the only solace we have in lebanon at the moment are not needed…lets look at it this way and its time the citizens took responsibility themselves….we had roads blocked in the north after thye sheikh was killed ( bare in mind the full facts should be given…the convoy did not stop and they opened fire first on the army full stop) we had roads blocked in the north after that young man was arrested because people didnt like the way he was arrested…we had roads blocked after 11 people were kidnapped in syria….we had rods blocked after man was arrested for attacking new tv office…we had threats of roads being blocked because people wanted a tunnel built…we have sidons road blocked at the moment …edl contractors blocking everything…everyone does it and it is stupid and ignorant… certain people blocked roads demanding release of certain people as well…what goes around comes around….

    Fatfat also called for the resignation of Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn over” his statements that reflect clear bias and negatively affect the Lebanese army”…this coming from the man that allowed tea to be served to israeli soldiers in marjyoun in 2006 war???? and as our army left maryoun the israeli army opened fire on them…if this happened when he was interior minister what would he have done? we saw ziad baroud resign as interior minister because he wasnt allowed to do his job due to political motives.. have we lost it as a society or what?

    you cant help people unless they are willing to help themselves….

    this is the problem in our country politicians are geared to their own sects they say what they want because its directed at their own people to win applause….the structure needs to be changed so that politicians are representing regions and not sects…THIS GOES FOR ALL

    i dont see what the army did wrong?

      Good one, dateam. I’m sure you will hear from some ‘others’ soon The ones who cannot ever see an overall picture of societal failure where there is not a common thread of allegiance to ‘country’, and the need of a secular democratic government to actually make it function. And when I say ‘make it function’ I mean with a common set of laws and a policing force applying them to all equally. 
      The stupidity of Syria has not created the problems … only highlighted them.
