Lebanon will attend a “Friends of Libya” meeting in Paris this week to discuss the African country’s future without strongman Moamer Kadhafi, a government official said Wednesday.

“Lebanon was invited to attend the conference in Paris on the future of Libya and will be represented by Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Foreign Minister Adnan Mansur,” the official told AFP, requesting anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the press.

Beirut has recognised the Libyan rebel-led National Transitional Council and in September will temporarily preside over the United Nations Security Council.

It has also for years demanded Kadhafi uncover the fate of Imam Musa Sadr, an Iranian-born Lebanese cleric revered by Lebanon’s Shiite Muslims.

Sadr mysteriously vanished on August 31, 1978 while on a trip to Libya.

Around 60 nations are expected to be represented at Thursday’s Friends of Libya conference in Paris, which will be co-chaired by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron.

The conference is expected to discuss funding for the war-shattered country as well as police training and diplomatic recognition for its future administration.

Yes … interesting. We can only hope nothing becomes buried. It’s always about money.
Money has always found it’s way to enable ‘chats’ with and between despots, and Big Business is often the most despotic.
Using ‘religion’ to hide what really goes on is quite useful … the superstitious ‘masses’ understand that more easily, and can identify their ‘foes’ by it in less complex ways than by technical papers and contracts. That’s the ‘human’ way of the world.
And why open and free Education is so important.
Of course, not everyone is capable of making good decisions for humanity. Democracies exist in that honest attempt – yet are the most difficult to maintain.

it is always fair to distinguish a jew from a zionist. yes there are jews who are anti-zionists.

Quite true Antar. Not all of us agree with what happens.
But that reminds me of a Jordanian friend who once said to me: ‘I know it’s wrong, but I can’t go against my government.’
And in that one moment, when someone should have spoken his mind, I could see the difference between two worlds … in that fear that keeps us enslaved.

Why don’t we solve our problems in Lebanon first before we represent and try to give our opinion about others? What a bunch of crap

I guess the Lebanese governments are fascinated with the International court..
