Boussoul on Sunni Support in Akkar
The article focused on Gebran Bassil, leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, and his stance on the Akkar issue, emphasizing that Akkar constitutes a reservoir of legitimacy and the army. It highlighted that 27% of the FPM supporters in Akkar are Sunni, more than the number of Christians within the movement. It clarified that the movement defends everyone, regardless of their sect, including those oppressed among Islamists. Furthermore, it opposes amnesty for those who killed the army, especially among Sunnis during the Nahr al-Bared battle, where more than 100 of the Sunnis out of 173 martyrs were killed. The article also stressed that the issue of Syrian refugees is important, and that Akkar should serve as a gateway for good relations with Syria—not for smuggling or infiltration. It warned of significant demographic changes happening in Lebanon. The article also criticized the government for practicing discrimination against Lebanese citizens, called for a government oversight body and genuine elections, and discussed the political, security, and economic problems facing Lebanon.
