إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The recent claims about the presence of al-Qaida in Lebanon have pushed U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to stir the issue of the demarcation of the Lebanese-Syrian border with top Lebanese officials next week, informed sources said Thursday.
The sources told An Nahar daily that Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn’s allegations that al-Qaida was operating in the eastern town of Arsal and the contradictory statements made by officials later on, have forced Ban to discuss with the Lebanese officials about a request to demarcate the border in accordance with U.N. Security Council resolution 1680.
Ban's three-day trip to Lebanon will start on January 13. He will meet with top Lebanese officials as well as members of the U.N. peacekeeping force deployed in the south.
An Nahar’s sources said the U.N. chief will also discuss with Lebanese officials the renewal of the protocol of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon that expires in March and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
Ban will inquire them about the investigations launched into the attacks on UNIFIL patrols and the launching of rockets, they added.
The newspaper said that the March 14-led opposition will ask Ban for U.N. help in unveiling the fate of Lebanese missing in Syria.
The March 14 general-secretariat said following its weekly meeting on Wednesday that Ban’s visit will be an opportunity to remind the Lebanese, Arab and international communities that the “full implementation of U.N. Security Council resolutions on Lebanon will put an end to the arms chaos and the lack of control on the Lebanese-Syrian border.”

the filthy zionist information war department, under the nickname of the glorious date, is trying to accuse me that i'm a syrian bootlicker and that i believe in greater syria.
in the same time, the zionist information war department, pretending to be lebanese, doesn't say anything with border with palestine.

moreover it s the syrian themselves who are purposely delaying to give the documents to the UN proving that shebaa is lebanese... till no official docs are produced then shebaa is considered syrian by the international laws and thus shebaa falls under the 242 and not 425...
but if chebaa is freed the hezb would have no reason to keep their arms as they promised many times to give them to the state once lebanon is freed from israelis!! another lie by this terrorist party

All these years the Syrians would not let Lebanon define its borders. The won't because they don't consider us a country, and the bootlickers who support them also make Lebanon a lesser country. In addition this is so Syria and the Hezz can do clandestine weapons and drugs transfers and no one knows who has jurisdiction over what is happening.
Also this is going to finish the issue of Shebbaa farms between Syria,Israel, and Lebanon once and for all. If it ends up in Syrian or Lebanese hands, the Hezz have one more reason not to be a "resistance". They couldn't even take that land and also lost some in Gajar.
