(*) FRANJIEH: THE CONDITIONS WE ARE GOING THROUGH NOW ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE EHDEN MASSACRE

Head of the Marada Movement, Sleiman Franjieh, delivered a speech this evening marking the June 13 anniversary of the Ehden massacre, in which he said: “The circumstances we are going through now are very similar to the conditions of the Ehden massacre, which the Christians and all of Lebanon paid for…” He said, “Reconciliation hit all the cancellation projects.” Franjieh stressed that “no one can outbid us in terms of our Christianity, our patriotism, and our Arabism.” “We must reassure Christians that the partner in the homeland does not want to cancel us, but rather we cancel each other,” he asserted.
