Saudi Envoy Describes Berri as Source of 'Hope, Optimism'

W300

Saudi royal envoy Nizar al-Aloula on Tuesday described Speaker Nabih Berri as a "national leader who is a source of hope and optimism in Lebanon," following talks in Ain el-Tineh.

Berri for his part said the meeting was "friendly" and hoped for other meetings in the future.

Al-Aloula had started an official visit to Lebanon on Monday.

He has so far held talks with President Michel Aoun, Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, ex-president Michel Suleiman and ex-PMs Tammam Salam and Najib Miqati.

Saudi royal envoy Nizar al-Aloula has earned my utmost respect and captured my wildest imagination for describing Speaker Nabih Berri as a "national leader who is a source of hope and optimism in Lebanon,".

I tend to agree with Bassil's characterization of Berri.

Any Lebanese Shia who tolerates the Christian minority's hegemony is alright in KSA's book. Anything but democracy!
