Lebanon Debates Over Shiite Officer Veto
Reports indicate that there are questions surrounding the continuity of vacancies in several sensitive positions within the Lebanese Army's Intelligence Directorate, particularly those designated for Shiite officers, with no apparent signs of a near resolution. Among the occupied positions is the head of the ranks and personnel department in military security, which became vacant after Brigadier General Khaled Mansour was appointed head of the Southern Intelligence branch. Meanwhile, other positions remain unfilled, such as the assistant chief of intelligence and his military attaché in Berlin, despite the nomination of qualified candidates. This raises the question of whether the delays are due to disagreements over the appointed names, the existence of a "veto" on appointing Shiite officers, or an intention to keep these positions within a specific quota. This suggests the possibility of a silent redistribution of sensitive roles within the directorate, amid ongoing hesitation and speculation about whether the issue is linked to administrative freeze or internal disputes.
