MP Kabbara urged Lebanon president, PM to defend Tripoli

mohammad kabbara MPTripoli’s Future MP Mohammad Kabbara called on President Michel Suleiman and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati to defend the city of Tripoli Lebanon’s northern capital

Speaking at a news conference following a meeting at his residence in Tripoli attended by Future MP Mouein Merehbi and representatives of Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya , Kabbara said: “The president, the Army commander and chiefs of security agencies know that Assad’s party in Jabal Mohsen is the aggressor. Will they defend Tripoli and its residents? Or will they be content with pressure on the victims and be lenient with the killer?”

Kabbara is referring to the Arab Democratic Party , which is headed by Rifaat Eid ,a close ally of Syrian president Bashar al Assad . On Tuesday night Eid declared that his Alawite party had “entered the battle” in Tripoli.

In a possible sign that violence could soon escalate in Tripoli Eid posted the following on his facebook page:

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, the provoker is most to blame … This is the last straw. You will hear the roar of Jabal Mohsen.”

Deadly clashes raged in the city for a third day Tuesday between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad, raising the death toll to at least 10 lives since hostilities erupted over the weekend.

The victims include two LAF soldiers who were killed when army troops came under heavy gunfire Monday as they attempted deploy on Syria Street separating the mostly Alawite Jabal Mohsen and the mostly Sunni Bab al-Tebbaneh.

    Now this make sense, a minority of no more than 5 thousand men defending a small area in Tripoli as opposed to over 30 thousand outsiders who have been paid to cause havoc. Why would Jabal Mohsen want to start a war when they know very well how out numbered they are. And why is it that every time advances are made by the Syrian Army, it erupts in Tripoli. We know who the aggressors are, the very same aggressors causing havoc in Syria. The terrorist pigs. So go spin your crap somewhere else Mr Karra

      And the majority in Tripoli who want no part of either of those idiot ‘sides’ suffer always.
      The LAF attempts to placate and separate … and suffers losses for that ‘political stance’ caused by stupid ‘religiosity’ … when it should have only ONE mandate … MAKING PEACE !!

          Yah dateam. And who ever trusted the police? Or the politicians these days.
          The last time the army started losing men, they surrounded that northern ‘pal-camp’ because of it’s ‘gang’ of bank-robbers, and actually did the job eventually … not that it was comfortable for the cringing refugees there.
          I am afraid they will need to do the same thing in Tripoli … although it’s a little harder to surround – and might remove troops from ‘borders’.
          Sometimes I think that is also part of the devious ‘plan’.

    It wasn’t long ago that Merehbi was chastising the head of our army because he didn’t like what the army was doing? To the point where the army wanted his parliamentary privileges absolved…NOW he wants the army to protect him? In ersal they gave coverage to those that killed the 2 soldiers. Lets not kid ourselves anymore….

    The best thing for Tripoli is either the army is allowed to go in and clean both areas out or the army surrounds both areas and lets them fight it out until one side ends the other. If both sides remain armed the fighting will never stop.

      problem is not the army…its the political will to give the army the orders. First option is prefered.

      I think the military should go in with full strength arrest and disarm both sides. This can’t be allowed to occur in a major Lebanese city. If this could happen anywhere at anytime then why would anyone want to give up their arms? It would be suicide! If you want to fight for Syria then go to Syria and fight! Keep Lebanon out of it!

        But it is ‘allowed’ … and has been for many years. The ‘recent’ is only a bit worse than ‘normal’. In ‘quiet times’ there are only a few small gangs running around popping at each other during the nights … mostly kids. Ramadan is a favourite time – everyone is out at night. 😉 You can sit in the internet cafe – with an espresso – and listen to them running past on the street. No-one looks up from the computer screen. :-))
        We try not show ‘stress’. It’s a wonderful life … when there’s electricity especially.
        Lately, however, the RPG’s and MORTARS are a little disturbing …
