MP Mashnouq: AmendingTaif a call for civil war
BEIRUT: Beirut MP Mohammad Mashnouq said Thursday that proposals to amend the Taif Accord weren’t an attempt to solve the country’s problems, but instead represented a call for civil war.

“Amending the Taif agreement, before implementing it fully … is a call for a new civil war and not a solution,” said Mashnouq during a conference organized by the Future Movements’ legal experts.

Mashnouq also blamed the Doha agreement of 2008, which ended several weeks of civil strife in May of that year, for Lebanon’s current problems.

So Mr. Mashnouq, did Patriach al Rai call for civil war? Shame on you and this sectarian mentality that the Future Movement now represents.
