I've just read an article, on a French website and, apparently there will probably be this afternoon a declaration from ministers of the Lebanese government saying that they are going to resign

Yes, Lebanon is such a beautiful country with history and art Whatever are the political things happening, interverning, it's just sad to see that the country of the ancestors of our children might risk some difficult times I was dreaming that, maybe, one day we could live there to raise our children Lebanon is an authentic and magnificent place It deserves to be peaceful thx for compliment (Lebanese Expat ) .,

can we back on topic? The answer is that no one knows what is going to happen in Lebanon, all the goverments will be involved in trying to help sort this out and maintain peace in the region, no one needs or wants another uprising in Lebanon. Other goverments agreeing to having Hezbollah overall in charge is unlikely to happen and this is where there could be problems. It's a wait and see, full of worry time for the Lebanese. I doubt anything that happens there will have too much affect on the rest of the ME.

[[color=#000066'>quote=hooters'>apparantely the implications wont be so big. Hariri is a Saudi running Lebanon and this was bound to happen at some point because Hezbollah has a military in Lebanon and is quite powerful. This is all over the UN report which will probably show that Hezbollah was involved in the murder of Hariri's father. There are so many political groups within Lebanon that it was only a matter of time before another one took over.[/color'> Sa'ad Hariri is not a Saudi he is Lebanese.The implications of this could be huge...the people of Lebanon deserve a break.

If, as said in the article, the eleven ministers declare this afternoon that they resign the goverment will be no more. And if there is no more government the country might risk again, and again, and again some big problems... Guess what kind of problems... :( Here is the same information but in English it's on gulf news http://gulfnews.com/news/region/lebanon/hezbollah-and-allies-to-topple-lebanon-government-1.745075

I know I just read this on Gulf News as well. My husband left for Beirut this morning...I just sent him a message and he had no idea what I was talking about!!! So let's just pray for the best and hope it's lots of hype. He's there looking for a house for us LOL I said, maybe we should wait and see how this plays out...yikes
