Report: Berri's Daughter May Be Appointed Lebanon's Ambassador to Syria
Lebanon's Ambassador to Syria Michel Khoury will be referred to retirement at the end of December, which will prompt a vacancy in the post, reported the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Sunday.
It said that Speaker Nabih Berri's daughter, Farah, may be appointed as his replacement.
Diplomatic and legal complications however stand in the way of her appointment.
The daily explained that certain promotions by caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour in Farah Berri's favor need to be made.
Moreover, Khoury's replacement needs to approved by the entire government, it added.
The current state of affairs in Lebanon however are thwarting such measures.
Mansour is expected however to soon announce the promotion of 55 diplomats from category three to category two employees.
Farah Berri is currently a category three administrative employee.

I am fairly certain this dude was joking. Otherwise GOOD JOB. The only salvation for this country is for all party leaders to die of natural causes as it will cause the sheep to FINALLY stop and think. But no, now we have to cheer for their children. This is just great.

Nadim and Nayla became MPs becuase people ELECTED them and were not appointed by wasta like Farah Berri. It is unfortunate you cannot see the difference. I did not expect better from you.

Well deserved based on what, her last name??? Come on now. She probably can't even read or write like the rest of the stupid politicians but they get their positions based on who they are.

Flamethrower is right. It's stupid how they get elected based on their names. Solange Gemayel, nadime, mowad are all doorknobs. I also agree with coolmec.

you do not like berri that is a good news. I am this guy looted the country like no one. He has used his entrejambe among the different sides, be M8, M14, Syrian and HA to place his men and women every where in the lebanese administrations and to take commission on everything. M8 cry for wolf when it comes to Hariri but say nothing about Berri.

Yea, there has to be a law forbidding direct relatives from holding posts. Either that or a term limit on the speaker of the house and prime minister.

FT - for years, I observed the original FT and while I disagreed with him on many topics, the guy knew what he was talking about ...
Then you came along and for months, I've hoped to see some maturity and growth in your posts and you keep disappointing me.
My fellow "so called Christian", you ought to know that the man you support "Gen Aoun" kept his post and expanded on it by playing on people's emotions .... Remember the slogan "ya sha'ab lubnan al atheem". Come on my brother, for once admit that there are few in Lebanon that have reached their position and kept them based on Merit. They're all guilty of utilizing the peoples emotions for their own gain. It's politics at it's best!!!

And how do you regulate "MERIT" in a country that rewards the sneaky, and holds in high esteem the corrupt?

Berri's daughter ambassador to Syria .......... a match made in heaven. Now we can have legal channels for Syria's influence and spying. They must have paid off Franjieh and Wahhab to agree to such at the expense of having one of their lackies or offspring taking that post.

Now let's get back to the topic at hand, don't you agree that your protege Aoun is guilty as anyone else of using people's emotions for his own benefit?

i'll sell you some crack, i take it myself before i give lengthy speeches
Well deserved promotion Farah. You really worked hard for it. It is my hope you will reach the position of Foreign Minister in no time. You broke down all barriers and social impediments and proved that Shia women can reach the highest levels of governance on their own merits.
