Southern: No state with external weapons or internal division
The article focuses on the importance of the unity and sovereignty of the Lebanese state in facing the challenges posed by the presence of an illegal weapon outside the legitimacy of institutions, especially Hezbollah's arms. It explains that resolving the weapon issue is a fundamental condition for establishing a sovereign state, but the solution goes beyond simply disarming; it also requires addressing sectarian and clientelistic loyalties that threaten the institutions of the state and turn them into tools for factional interests. It emphasizes the necessity of changing the mentality that links citizens to their sectarian affiliation and building mutual trust between the different communities, so that the state becomes a space for everyone that ensures justice and sustainable coexistence. The article underscores that freeing the state from clientelism and sectarian quota-sharing is essential for achieving justice. It also highlights that the success of national currents depends on their ability to build a unifying national project that brings Lebanese people together and restores trust in the state as a reference for all, rather than viewing it as a spoils system for various groups.
