Phalange party MP Samer Saadeh accused Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun and his son-in-law, Energy Minister Gebran Bassil, of “inciting murder,” Al-Mustaqbal newspaper reported on Sunday.

The report added that Saadeh was assaulted on Saturday evening by Bassil supporters in Faraya following a debate over the removal of an electricity pole from land owned by Saadeh.

Saadeh told Al-Mustaqbal that Electricite du Liban installed the electricity pole in land in Farayya owned by his family.

Saadeh added that when his supporters tried to take down the pole, Bassil’s partisans arrived to the area, blocked the road, assaulted the MP and damaged his car.

“They shot at me in front of the Lebanese army, damaged my car which has an MP license plate , threatened to kill me and tried to force me to sign an approval to deploy the pole.”

Saadeh added that after the incident he went to the police to press charges against Bassil and Aoun for “inciting murder.”

Phalange party MP added that “Bassil thinks he is above the law because he is the son-in-law of Aoun, but he is wrong. We know who he is, and the residents of the Batroun region know Bassil well.”

The Lebanese army is currently formed from Oubet Zaaran , bunch of Hizbollah and Aoun bandits supportes and Syria agents , we will not rest until Syria regime is changed, Aoun dies ( hopefully in his bed today) and have a non army president .

After seeing how the Somali army fought and died bravely against this filthy Islamist Al-Shebab group in Somalia and finally recaptured most locations once controlled by them, and now are trying to create a government after 20 years. Think about those Somali soldiers who died, they died for a country that has no law, a country that has no pride, almost not much of a history, also there is starvation, and recent drought, pirates everywhere, abuse of women. Now go back to Lebanon, we have a law, we have a government, were not starving, the women are free here, yet the army takes no effort to protect civilians, despite the fact people were being shot at in front of the army? We have an illegal group in our country, the army is doing nothing. Can we honestly say we are proud to be Lebanese? When people are shot at because of a light pole it makes me think that we are not much far from Somalia.

Some people are trying to undermine Aoun’s authority and initiative. Electricity is distributed through wires, poles are needed to hang the wires. No poles no wires no electricity. The people of Faraya like to get electricity MP Saadeh and that is why they came out to block your destructive agenda. As the saying goes “go bark on another pole”.

But you cant hang poles on private property without buying it firs, with all respect if you are supporter of AOun doesn’t mean you have to make him your God. Government has to buy private land if necessary we are not in communist country here , also you cant go shoot . I guess Aoun since 1988 proved enough that he work in Gangster mentality , let say first that he was appointed a PM to oversee the election as Lebanese law dictate , and he ended up rejection Mouawad election because he’s wearing an army suit . His speeches and conferences are very similar to Al Capone and not to a States man and his son in law is following his steps.

In some places there are poles that look like giant eagle’s nests on top where people have strung their own wires in the attempt to find one that works. It’s a marvel of insanity waiting to fry anyone who dares turn a switch on. No ‘plan’.
But great for a picture
Some I saw of ‘wiring’ in Pakistan look similar … sent as a joke-page on the internet. Lebanon needs a few ….
