Aoun Asks Baalbek-Hermel Residents to Cooperate with Army

President Michel Aoun has called on the residents of Baalbek-Hermel to cooperate with the army in order to rein in the security chaos in their region.

Aoun also reassured the MPs of Baalbek-Hermel whom he met Monday at the Baabda Palace that “the security measures that will be taken in the region to strengthen security and security in it will be accompanied by integrated developmental work that fits the region's economic and social needs.”

He, however, warned that “there will be no leniency with those who sow chaos and anxiousness among residents and those whose practices are detrimental to the region's economic life.”

Aoun also reminded that the Higher Defense Council had taken decisions in its latest session that are “being gradually implemented.”

“The region's political parties have announced that they do not cover security violators and offenders,” the president pointed out.
