Mawlawi urges Sunnis to pull Lebanon out of 'new type of war'
Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi has called on Lebanon’s Sunni community to turn out heavily in the May 15 parliamentary elections, warning that “reluctance from practicing the right of voting would deepen the country’s crises.”
“You actively took part in founding the country and enshrining its National Pact. You did not take part in civil war and you did not take up arms. Today you are invited to participate heavily in pulling Lebanon out of a war that is of another nature – the war of poverty, deprivation and employment, which has entered into the homes of all Lebanese,” Mawlawi said in an interview with the Saudi al-Bilad newspaper.
“You are asked to be loyal to your Arabism and keen on the legitimacy of your state,” the minister added.
Ex-PM Saad Hariri, the leader of the biggest Sunni party in the country, had recently announced that his al-Mustaqbal Movement would not take part in the elections.

"You actively took part in founding the country and enshrining its National Pact." That mainly was giving Christians six seats in parliament for five seats for Muslims. (The "Taef Accord" changed this to fifty-fifty, as in Article 24 of the Constitution.) This guy is bragging about that? I guess he reads whatever Mohammed bin Salman hands him on a card.
