Mr. President, Your apology is needed

Written by Nasser Kandil,

There is an incident and an idea drew the attention of the Lebanese, and it will draw again for a long time, its reason is the former Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

This incident is when the Lebanese General Security under an international confinement arrested a Lebanese dangerous terrorist at his arrival to Beirut airport, he is Shadi Al-Mawlawi, from that date his name quickly turns to a street issue, although he was an obscure name at the security men and the politicians in Lebanon, But at the end, President Najib Mikati has interfered and has issued his declarations about releasing and securing him into a car to Tripoli to meet Najib’s ally the Minister Mohammed Al-Sefadi as a celebration of the freedom of an oppressed Tatabulsi citizen at the hands of security body, thus the streets of the city turned to a wedding that neither the returned champions of the resistance have received after they had returned with victory during their confrontation with Israel, nor the liberated hostages from the occupation jails have met. The audience and at their forefront the deputies of AlMostaqbal current and the leaders of the Atoning groups have compelled on attacking the General Director of the Public Security, through accusing him of executing private agendas once to the account of Syria and once to the account of Hezbollah, in addition of putting his governmental responsibility under their interests.

The idea, is the theory of self-distance of the conflict in Syria, which is innovated by the President Najib Mokati, and which is lifted against the participation of Hezbollah in the fighting in Syria against the armed groups, it is clear that, most of these groups belong to the Atoning groups as the diplomatic security and the media reports showed. Under this theory which the former President Michel Suleiman has carried as a slogan and AlMostaqbal current and the forces of 14th of March have carried as a banner, a relentless war against Hezbollah has announced. The government of President Mikati has resigned, so the President Tammam Salam has been called to establish a new government. Lebanon remained without government for nearly a year under the plea that Hezbollah has violated Mikati theory so that he will not participate with Hezbollah in any government before it withdrew to the Mikati patronage.

In both cases, Mikati was the innovative and the motive, AlMostaqbal current was the leader and the Atoning groups were the applauders. In both cases the plea of Mikati has distributed between defending on his two ideas about the innocence of Al-Mawlawi and the truly of self-distancing, alleging of his political and electoral interest and the looses which will affect him if he has not take these attitudes.

The developments which took place before, have permitted to disclose an account even though it is belated but it is necessary, because the incident and the idea are clearly present nowadays and probably would be much more in the coming days.

Al-Mawlawi has appeared as a leader of ISIL in the North, so he has become “wanted” to all the security bodies inside and outside Lebanon. Today he is a timed-bomb in Tripoli and the North, he is preparing himself with his supporters to confront the Lebanese army, he promised that it will be the major battle, and thereby it will explode Tripoli and Lebanon in general. Is it proved that General Abbas Ibrahim has exploited his governmental position for private agendas? Or that the intervention on that day to release Al-Mawlawi was an exploitation of Mikati to his governmental position to a private agenda?  and if the idea of the innocence of Al-Mawlawi has fallen, so is it proved that the political background which Mikati has created to protect the Atoning groups has earned a popularity which he is afraid to lose?

The Presidents of America, France, King of Saudi Arabia, and the Prime Ministers of great countries such as Britain have announced their alliance to fight terrorism in Syria and Iraq, since they considered it a defense of their countries’ security. The King of Saudi Arabia has said that, if we and the world do not fight terrorism today, then after one month it will arrive to Europe, and after two months it will be in America. Although the President Mikati used this international Arabic speech to respond to the participation of the Lebanese Foreign Minister in Jeddah Conference wondering; why Hezbollah is asked about his participation in Syria whereas Cameron and Obama are not?  He ignored what the king of Saudi Arabia said; trying to explain that the self-distancing means a refusal to all alliances and participations, in other words, the acceptance of participating and fighting the others is far away from the self-distancing.

What the President Mikati has tried to do to defend his theory has no longer beneficial, since the International and the Arab alert has still in its place and our problem is that it is neither serious nor honest, because when we say as Barak Obama said that terrorism spreads all over as gas, this speech remains in its place, and the proof is that ISIL through its prince announced the turning to a caliphate that includes all the Muslims countries, it started executing hostages of different nationalities, moreover the fighters of ISIL and Al-Nosrah have entered to Arsal in a described attack on the Lebanese army, they kidnapped its soldiers and slaughtered three of them, So did this happen to the whole world, region and Lebanon just because of the participation of Hezbollah in the fighting in Syria?  Or the terrorism which you do not confront will come to you as the Britain Prime Minister David Cameron said?

The logic explained that the speeches of Obama and Cameron are approximately right than the speech of Mikati. Mikati has to tell the King of Saudi Arabia whom all the theories of self –distancing did not succeed in getting his satisfaction; O Majesty, as long as you have a calendar of ISIL’s expansion, could you please inform us when it will be in Lebanon, if it will be in Europe after one month?  And if the world of thousands of kilometers distance was invited to fight ISIL and Al-Nosrah, so what about Hezbollah whom ISIL sat on the steps of its home and next to it?

Mr. President the logic says that the theory of self-distance has fallen with the innocence of Shadi Al-Mawlawi, thereby both of them deserves an apology. The loses which you caused to Syria, Hezbollah and to Lebanon which both of us love as well, cannot be measured by the profits which you gained politically or during your position in the government and through your attitudes towards them, Mr. President, You won nothing unfortunately, so the apology is less than a duty.
