Saad Hariri, qui ne pourra finalement pas être celui qui répartit les largesses saoudiennes au Liban (plusieurs milliards annulés), et dont l’entreprise Saudi Oger ne paie plus ses 56.000 employés depuis 5 mois, lance une très émouvante « pétition de loyauté au Royaume d’Arabie séoudite » lors d’une très humiliante cérémonie. Ça se fait sur un tableau tellement moche qu’il y a fort à parier qu’aucun graphiste n’a accepté de travailler là-dessus sans être payé à l’avance par le Futur…

Upon the invitation of Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, a ceremony was held this evening at the “Center House” entitled “Loyalty to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council States”.

The ceremony was attended by the Head of the Future Parliamentary Bloc Fouad Siniora, Deputy Speaker Farid Makari, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Samir Mokbel, Ministers Wael Abu Faour, Michel Pharaon, Rashid Derbas, Akram Chehayeb and Nabil de Freige, former Ministers Marwan Hamadeh, Mohamad Safadi, Adnan Kassar and Hassan Mneimne, and a large number of MPs, businessmen, journalists, economic figures, representatives of civil society and dignitaries.

The ceremony was an occasion to launch the signing of a petition expressing “Solidarity with the Arab consensus and loyalty to the Arab brotherly states.”

At the onset of the ceremony, Premier Hariri delivered the following statement:

"Today’s meeting is entitled: Loyalty to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council States.

Tiens, je suis curieux de savoir qui sont les « nombreux journalistes » qui ont signé ce truc… (Au fait, tous ces gens qui prêtent ostensiblement allégeance à l’Arabie séoudite se présentent toujours comme les défenseurs absolus de l’« indépendance » libanaise.)

More than 100,000 Syrian refugees received military training in their home country before entering Lebanon, Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas said Sunday.

The staggering figure poses “a real threat to internal security," he added, saying that Lebanon can no longer absorb any more refugees.

Lebanon has stopped allowing the entry of Syrian refugees into the country except for humanitarian reasons to be decided by the Interior and Social Affairs ministries, Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas said in remarks published Saturday.

“Lebanon is no longer officially receiving any Syrian refugees,” Derbas told Al-Akhbar daily.

“These are measures that were agreed to in the ministerial committee and have received the preliminary agreement of the Lebanese government, and we have stopped the influx.”

“Anyone who passes the Syrian-Lebanese border will be questioned and should have a humanitarian reason for their entry. This will be decided by the Interior and Social Affairs ministries.”
