State authority collapses globally
The opening describes the deterioration of the Lebanese state's prestige due to the accumulation of crises and the loss of trust in institutions. It depicts chaos as having become part of daily life without the need for sudden disruptions. This chaos manifests in various forms, including weak law enforcement, the proliferation of weapons outside state control, and the erosion of public services. The article raises fundamental questions about who holds the decision-making power in matters of war and peace, who enforces the law, and how sovereignty and legitimate authority can be restored. It emphasizes that the decline of the state's prestige poses a threat to economic and social stability, and that restoring security and institutional authority requires a clear political will and reform efforts. The text underscores that societal cohesion alone is insufficient and must be accompanied by genuine institutional reforms to rebuild a sovereign state governed by firm rule of law.
