Suleiman Tasks Mansour to Hand Syrian Ambassador Letter of Complaint over Violations
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman condemned on Monday the Syrian troops’ infiltration into Lebanon’s eastern border region of al-Qaa and the shelling of several border towns, particularly in the north.
He tasked Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour to hand Syrian ambassador Ali Abdul Karim Ali a letter of complaint over his country’s endeavors along the Lebanese-Syrian border.
Suleiman ordered the military command and the competent security agencies to prevent the recurrence of the Syrian violations permanently.
On Sunday, a Syrian force formed of 30 troops infiltrated 500 meters into Lebanon’s eastern border region of Masharii al-Qaa and opened sporadic fire among the residents of the area.
Concerning the Syndicate Coordination Committee’s demands to implement the new wage scale for public workers, Suleiman considered that the protests are being held in the time that the new wage scale is being studied to provide the public workers with their demands.
He called on the public sector workers to suspend their scheduled strike on Tuesday and to give the cabinet the opportunity to resolve the issue.
The SCC, which is a coalition of private and public school teachers and public sector employees, warned during the weekend that it will escalate its action on Tuesday through sit-ins in front of ministries.
They will also kick off a demonstration on Wednesday from Beirut’s Barbir region and head to the Grand Serail in downtown Beirut.
The committee recently boycotted the correction of official exams over the government’s failure to include the new wage scale in the state budget.

This tells me that the Syrian President cannot be reached via telephone any longer as the latter joined the rat's hole club fearing for his life.

"Suleiman ordered the military command and the competent security agencies to prevent the recurrence of the Syrian violations PERMANENTLY."
Fine Mr. Suleiman. Now comes the BIG test. Let's see if the LAF retaliate fiercely when the Syrians cross our borders or is it again all talk.

Geha, where were you and your allies for 30 years when Syria was occupying Lebanon and we were protesting and getting beat up by the security forces? This is an honest question because there seems to be selective memory in this country and suddenly the Salafis are freedom fighters.

Whoever hands over the letter of complaint to the Syrian Ambassador or his deputy will be lucky if the guy doesn't laugh in his face whilst tearing the complaint into little pieces.

Why is president and army doing anything to curb all terrorists in transit via Lebanon heading to Syria to kill, murder and terrorize the Syrian people? President and army know exactly where they are in Lebanon and as long as they don't do anything the Syrian army will continue to defend it soil from such terrorists coming from Lebanese side of border.

Phoenix, that's exactly why I keep saying that we should stay out of this completely. We would be fools if we were sure that what's coming after Bashar will be better. There is a very strong Islamist component within the rebels. This is very quickly morphing into a sectarian war. I want Bashar destroyed but alla yestor if the Islamists replace him. Let's stay on the sidelines and hedge our bets.
