Has US And Saudi Backed Joseph Aoun To Become Lebanon's President? | The West Asia Post | WION

[@donatusnwobodo4404]

Happy to see people of Lebanon celebrate their new president ❤❤❤❤

[@dumonesout]

It's obvious Lebanese wants change. God bless Lebanon

[@ibrahimabdullahi5226]

What change, the president of Lebanon has always been a maronite Christian going by their constitution. It's not a new development.

[@mwandera025]

Am Ugandan, I love Lebanon and the Lebanese people at heart, they're the most loving and friendly people I've ever met away from home. We pray for peace, love and safety for all the Lebanese people ❤

Beirut used to be known as the Paris of the Near East. Let's hope that it regains that title.

The victory for Christianity in Lebanon 🇱🇧

[@Daniel-ch52]

Yes but Islam is Can ser so you guys have to fight it by your own. It will not take long fot it to get back it's power in Lebanon

[@DeathB4Dishonor2300]

This is why I question religion, it's obvious to me it's a dividing force to man. Victory for Christianity? It's a victory for Lebanon who cares what religion he is. The west use religion and different sects in the same religion to promote dis function, and conflict in the world. This religious war nonsense is ruining us as a species.

[@vincentkawanga4532]

Lebanon presidents always Christian.

[@ssekabiradauda7127]

This is position is always occupied by Christians but a ceremonial one.

[@ibrahimabdullahi5226]

Ignorant bigot. The constitution of Lebanon 🇱🇧 has always made provision for a maronite Christian to be president. I wonder how that amount to victory for Christianity in your bigoted mind.

[@Elpireyes777]

[@legendarybalasik3155]

Remove Hesbollah!!!

[@ibrahimabdullahi5226]

He can't. He's just a ceremonial president. The prime minister is the one with constitutional power and hesbollah is a political party in Lebanon and as a matter of fact, formed the last government with a maronite Christian party in coalition.

[@ssekabiradauda7127]

No way,in Lebanon, presidency is for malanite Christians, the premiership which is the most powerful position is occupied by Sunnis, the speaker of parliament is always occupied by shias,it's a fragile setup.

[@ibrahimabdullahi5226]

So, say an ignorant bigot. The Lebanon 🇱🇧 constitution has always provided gor a maronite Christian as the president , a sunni Muslim as the prime minister and a Shia Muslim as the head of parliament. So don't know what you mean as ..atleast Lebanon can become Christian again.

Oh really? When people were trying to elect a president Hizbollah was blocking their tries, it wanted a pro-Iran president by force. Hizbollah politicians went on live television (before the war) and warned that any elected president they don't approve of will "not remain alive for long". Now you want democracy? If US and Saudi interference is what gets rid of Iranian interference, so be it, at least Saudi invests in Lebanon's economy and doesn't give money to militias that ruin our economy.

Aoun was born on 10 January 1964, in the Beirut suburb of Sin el-Fil in the Metn District, the child of Hoda Ibrahim Makhlouta and Khalil Aoun. He completed secondary school at the Collège des Frères Mont La Salle. His family is originally from the town of Al-Aaishiyah, Southern Lebanon. Aoun enrolled at the Lebanese American University to pursue a bachelor's degree in political science and international affairs, which he earned in 2007. He also holds a bachelor's degree in military science from the Lebanese Army Military Academy.
