Adib needs to explain in this game of nations





Adib needs to explain in this game of nations

Following is an excerpt from an article by former minister Sajaan Azzi.

Can the designated prime minister share his diary with us? What did he do in the two weeks after his assignment? What contacts did he make and the efforts he made to form the government? Who said goodbye? Mustafa Adib acted as if he was assigned to head government, not form it. He sat in the back country, waiting for the duty of formation to fall on him; It was lost in Paris in a game of nations, and in Beirut between the sects. The two games meet because some Lebanese sects are soldiers of the nation's game at the expense of Lebanon's interest. Next, I do not know whether the upcoming government will be formed to save the Lebanese situation or to save the French initiative?

Political references in Beirut and Paris were astonished by my criticism of aspects of the French performance in my previous editorial (An-Nahar 09/10/20) so successive developments followed, the most recent of which was the statement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, first from yesterday, to confirm the validity of the concerns that affected them. And here is French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been working for days to remove the stickers that were affixed to his initiative and to PM-designate, Mustafa Adeeb.

This fact would have strengthened the position of the appointed PM-designate, Adib at the international level, and encouraged him to speed up imposing a government. However, from the first moment of his assignment, the ruling system, at the forefront of which is Hezbollah, sought to form a government that would complement the path of Hassan Diab's government. The people and the world want a rescue government for Lebanon; this system wants a transitional government that wastes time even if it kills the country. Hezbollah thought that it would satisfy France with a "diabetic" technocrat government, and that it would satisfy its project by choosing its ministers. The Americans moved in and immediately drew a red line that confused everyone, including the French.
