"Has Aoun decided to avenge Taif ?," wrote Tony Issa in the Republican Republic: "There is a sectarian and sectarian cold war that has reached its peak.The Lebanese must first thank the international forces who wish to Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces on the day of their holiday She and the Bank of Lebanon are the only remaining guarantee for the rest of the country The Lebanese are fortunate that both institutions benefit from international coverage , especially the army … otherwise, it is not certain that the cold war would have remained cold!
1. The letter of the President of the Republic to the House of Representatives on the interpretation of Article 95 does not seem ordinary. President Michel Aoun "has not swallowed" the pbadage of Article 80 in the budget "from behind his back". However, his constitutional powers, according to Taif, require him to sign the finance law, even if he is not convinced. As a result, he signed the signature reluctantly, and then began a battle over the concept of equality and national agreement. The characteristics and circumstances of the battle suggest that they will be ferocious and will take a lot of time.
Aoun's message was an important warning: "The Charter, the National Accord and Coexistence are the cornerstones of Lebanon's existence and give all due attention". As the letter indicated later in a certain procedure: "We reserve our constitutional right and duty, by our position, our role and our department, to take the measure that we consider compatible and the Constitution in these matters. . "
2. In the same context, Minister Gebran Bbadil and a number of elements of the "Free Patriotic Movement" have in recent days launched words that have not been heard since the Ta'I: "They threaten to come back to count … Christians are not afraid of it, and we know where we are going, but something can not change our concept of equality … S & # 39; they want it, we also have our choices, which are all patriotic and preserve the country. "Everyone wants to know: what are the" current "options?

4. There is a Sunni "awakening" of the Taef agreement, expressed by the movement of former prime ministers who visited Saudi Arabia, the sponsors of the agreement. Most likely, the confrontation will become a Sunni confrontation for the defense of Taif.
On the basis of recent external contacts with some influential forces, some have recently referred to the fact that the change of President Saad Hariri was not a problem if the cost of maintaining the presidency of government and powers was greater than the cost of survival. in the colony that could not go out. The gains at Taif are not acceptable for giving up and going back.
5 – At the same time, direct or indirect sectarian demonstrations were finally imposed, notably: the decision of the municipality of Hadat to put an end to the renting or sale of houses to non-Christians and the division of the Ministry of Labor concerning the organization of Palestinian work. He took on a sectarian character.
6. In the midst of this sectarian boil, the mobilization of neoconservatives has reached unprecedented levels among ordinary citizens of all denominations. What is remarkable is the way in which, in the Christian environment, a concert was organized in Jbeil festivals.
It is common for conservative or radical Muslim groups to threaten an artist exposed to religious symbols, any artist who has not been exposed in Lebanon to the threat of "bleeding Christians" because of his work – will not occur at the concert – is considered to touch Christian religious symbols.
This phenomenon, even if it is not directly related to the political conflict, could be placed in the context of the recent "rise" of the sectarian climate. At times, it becomes difficult to distinguish sectarian affiliations and zeal from religious affiliation.
