Aoun Stresses 'National Unity' in Govt. Formation Crisis

W300

President Michel Aoun on Monday stressed that “national unity” should be preserved in the approach towards the formation of the new government.

“I sensed from His Excellency the President his insistence on honoring the principle of national unity in his dealing with the government formation crisis,” Central Council of the Maronite Societies chief Wadih al-Khazen said after meeting Aoun in Baabda.

“He rejected the ‘guaranteeing’ or ‘blocking one-third’ claims, warning against allowing the growing crisis to impact the country’s future and expressing concern over the fate of the promised aid,” Khazen added.

“The President will carry on with the consultations that he is making in order to produce a quick solution leading to the formation of a rescue and mission-driven government that would oversee the proper implementation of the forensic audit, which has been launched and will target all state sectors,” the ex-minister went on to say.

The old fool still talks about National Unity!
He doesn't understand that the people are fed-up with those disgusting parties!
We want experts! Not politicians!
We want independents! Not members of the parties!
Non partisans! Not partisans!
To hell with all of you!

I don't think he got the memo that the nation is united against them.

"To hell with all of you" is a perfect summary. They are fighting to keep their seats and keep robbing the country. And the people suffer and die in the meantime. But it is also the fault of the people. Had they properly risen together instead of being polarized, these idiots would be 6 feet underground by now, and we would have a government of competent experts leading us out of the dark...
