Lebanon’s Ministry of Interior urged on Thursday the Syrian refugees not to stage any political rallies that “might in any way undermine security and stability in Lebanon or the relations between Syrian refugees and Lebanese citizens.”

The measure is reportedly aimed at distancing Lebanon from the Syrian civil war maintaining sound and cordial relations between the Lebanese citizens and the Syrian refugees.”

Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq urged U.N. organizations and international groups concerned with the plight of Syrian refugees to “fully shoulder their responsibilities in this regard, seek to inform Syrian refugees of this statement’s content, and to follow up the issue and give it utmost importance.”

This development comes after the Syrian refugees staged rallies in the Bourj Hammoud and al-Nabaa areas in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has nominated himself for a third presidential term. The demonstrators waved the flags of Syria and Hezbollah.

Damascus has called on all Syrian refugees — except those who fled “illegally” — to cast their votes at embassies for the election.

Lebanon, a country of four million people has the highest per capita refugee population in the world. Nearly one in four residents of Lebanon is now a Syrian refugees.

    Hang on,I don’t understand, I thought all the refugees who left Syria hated the Assad government. At least that’s the shit the main stream media as well some of the bloggers on this site and other sites tried to feed most. The fact is almost 90% of the Syrian population support Assad and his government. And anyone who thinks otherwise needs to really wake up.

      Calm the farq down – most Syrians do hate Assad, they just wouldn’t dare say that cuz he clearly had the torture equipment to clamp down hard, no pun intended. That fact aside, can you blame the pro-Assad supporters for wanted to get the Farq out of a country that averages 7 massacres a day? I don’t discriminate, I would just rather the selfish bastards in Jordan and Egypt step up and accept more responsibility.

        And you know this how. Have got each and every one of their names and numbers. Come on man, get real. If the people really hated him so much he would have had no choice but to step down. And Russia and China wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on. There are protest in Syria each and everyday showing support for Assad, his government and the army. Just a shame the main stream media doesn’t show them. Next thing you are going to tell me is that each and every army personal fighting for him is an Alawite. Even though the armies majority are Sunni’s.

          The fact of the matter is nobody really knows. The media in Syria is controlled by the Assad dictatorship. And please don’t share articles from PressTV in Iran, controlled by another dictatorship. You seem like a smart man ya Farq, and I respect your intelligence, but I will not accept for you to treat other people as ignorant because you feel like it is easy to mislead them. The rebel forces don’t have a media outlet, they just leak stuff onto twitter, which is nearly impossible to verify for authenticity because you don’t exactly have “verified” Syrian rebel accounts on Twitter next to Oprah and Obama.

          Just stop spewing bullshit please – accept that while some Syrians support Assad, there are significant numbers that do not. At the end of the day, when you have a choice between a Farq’ed up leader like Assad, and chaos like the rebels, I am not surprised to see Syrians supporting Assad over chaos. However, that does not mean that he is right for Syria, not by any stretch. He’s an evil son of a bitch, just like his dad, and he deserves to get locked up forever with no access to Shania Twain till he dies.

            I agree with you, Nobody really knows. And because of this, how can we blame one side and not the other. I never said Assad is an angel. On the contrary, I remember very clearly what his government did to our once beautiful country. However in saying that, I truly believe the Basher is different to his father and has tried to change many things in his country.

          Hahaha what army?
          Hahahahaha there is nothing called the Syrian army anymore, there’s a couple of loyal brigades, 99% Alawites! there’s the chabiha, there’s Hezbollah the Iraqi militias and the Iranian revolutionary guards and lately afghan militias. All the latter have said and repeated dozens of times that without their involvement bashar would have fallen.
          Stop lying to yourself

      What fact?
      Dr. Maher’s facts?
      You truly are brainwashed to have the guts to say something as stupid as this

        To say something wrong is one thing, but the issue with Farq is he says it with such deep conviction you would think he personally conducted the poll of Syrians in a war town country with millions dispersed across the region (pretty much just Lebanon).

          The poll came from SANA so it must be true…

            Akeed, what a reputable news source. I’m sure Bashar personally signed off of the numbers right after he rocked out to sexy and I know it, one of his favorite tracks.

      Even as a 13 year old I’m not that brainwashed. Anyone who support ANY group that holds thier country hostage and kill people who appose them are 100% brain dead. Ok time to play with marbles now, lol.

        You’re a smart 13 year old – few become masters in life, for you to do it at age 13 must mean your parents are very proud. Bravo, shater!

      Sure Farq ,,. “except those who fled “illegally” ” … whatever THAT means.
      By now, perhaps it’s down to 10% who don’t ‘agree’ with Assad’s way of running the show … of course. Not that anyone can do a ‘count’ – which in some countries is by voters.

    So … how about if the ‘newly-impoverished, now-out-of-work-with-no-aid-packages’, Lebanese Citizens put on a demonstration … especially for some health-care to combat the bugs dragged in from Syria?? Would that help ‘the situation’??
    Have to admit they tried one ‘For Peace’ in Tripoli. Didn’t bring a huge crowd, of course, since Hezzy wasn’t laying out the Hot-dogs and Tea there. I see Old Nasty got his pic in this ‘report’ along with the Devil himself.
