Très important : A Coup by Tabbaneh Field Commanders : “We Have the Final Say”
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/coup-tabbaneh-field-commanders-we-have-final-say
The field commanders of Bab al-Tabbaneh’s gunmen have carried out a ‘coup’ against political leaders in the northern city of Tripoli, particularly MP Mohammed Kabbara. For all intents and purposes, the gunmen, who were being exploited politically and even financially, are now the ones controlling the streets.
Political leaders in Tripoli have long taken advantage of the internecine street conflicts in the city, using the violence and political allegiances of the militants to advance their standings, both locally and regionally. So the field commander rebellion against politicians comes as a striking development in this latest spate of violence.
The ‘coup’ against MP Kabbara and his political camp began on the night of Wednesday, May 22. As clashes spread, there was a lack of political stances to set the tone for the violence.
Le député Kabbara est membre du Futur (Saad Hariri), et Amid Amid Hammoud est le chef de la « branche armée » du Futur.
At this point, Hammoud sensed that the insinuation was aimed at him and responded, “I have distributed the arms, but I cannot cover all of Tabbaneh’s weapon needs.”
Évidemment, tu n’entendras pas plus parler de cette « révolte » des gangs armés sunnites contre leurs patrons du Courant du Futur (et donc le rôle direct du Futur dans la violence à Tripoli) que tu n’as entendu parler du précédent billet signalant le début de cette révole (il y a deux mois) :

Je parie que plus c’est important, et moins tu auras de chance d’en entendre parler…
