The Middle East is facing a political and brutal unrest. Till now, thousands of Muslims have been killed in the ongoing civil war. From Egypt to Libya, there has been political instability. The same is the situation in Lebanon where a civil war has started. There are several reasons for the civil war in this country. Now, we will look at why people are protesting, and why this protest leads to civil war.
Lebanon has some political issues with the Syrian government, and the people are protesting against the assassination of Lebanon’s spy Chief. The funeral was so emotional that it created a wave of anger against the Syrians. The Lebanon people have asked their PM to step down, and some political leaders have urged the nation not to support the PM, who is in support of Syria. A famous television anchor asked the nation to protest against the PM; as a result of which, a mob shouted protests outside his residence.
Lebanon Critical situation
The armed forces in the country have asked for a peaceful protest from the political parties. They have placed a request to be cautious in the speeches, and not to flame the emotions of the people. Many people have been killed, till date, in Lebanon, and there is a growing fear that the civil war in Syria will soon spread to the small country of Lebanon, as well.
The main issue in the unrest of the country is entirely political and religious. Some groups that are fighting against the ruling party in the country are in favor of Sunni rebels fighting in Syria against Basharat-ul-Asad. Mostly, Sunni groups are favoring the Sunni rebels, but the Shiites are favoring the Asad government in Syria.
The Spy General who was killed in the car bomb was a Sunni. He was a great solider for the country, and he was challenging the Syrian government and the Hezbollah (the Lebanon Shiites group). The assassination of this leader was the main issue of political unrest in the country and the blame game started. According to the Sunni people, both the Hezbollah and the Syrian government are involved in this incident. This incident causes a great stress and storm in the country.
The Lebanon ruling party and the US state minister have offered the joint investigation of the assassination of the intelligence official. The US officials have asked the ruling party and the PM to take steps to make the state stable and sovereign.
Even now, clashes between the Sunni and Shiites continue, and a lot of people from both groups have been killed. The midnight clashes are on the rise and people living in such areas are now shifting to more secure areas.
