Is it required that we remain waiting for Ukrainian wheat? The mills are not buying, and the Lebanese farmer is prevented from exporting his crop, and we remain waiting to see if Ukrainian wheat will arrive or not, and if the sea will open or not. This matter is unacceptable and rejected.

The Minister of Economy does not receive the wheat to buy it and secure it for the mills, nor does he let the farmer sell it abroad, even though he gave him export permission.

We came to emphasize the importance of the return of state institutions, especially the security ones, but security alone is not enough; people need basic services to return.

I have no problem with requesting the medical certificate itself, but why does this paper cost $20?
أحد المواطنين20 days ago · Lebanon Debate
I am not against the legal and administrative procedures required to obtain a driver's licence, nor against verifying that the citizen meets all the necessary conditions, but the question I raise today concerns the cost of these procedures that accumulate on the citizen under the heading of required documents.

Congratulations on the house — there are rockets in it.
عباس علي سلوم20 days ago · Lebanon Debate
I've been running from one place to another for two and a half months... I have two unexploded rockets in my house, each weighing a ton, and my family is not coming home because of them.

I am here today to affirm the return of state institutions to work. They are an essential part of bringing life back to this dear city, and they will serve to support the resilience of its good people and consolidate their stay on their land.

We still need major funding. But I want you to trust that we are striving, and will continue to strive, to secure everything we can to uplift the south.
نواف سلامرئيس الحكومة اللبنانية20 days ago · الشرق الأوسط
I realize the magnitude of the crisis. I know your fatigue and understand the suffering of those who lost their homes, those who lost their work or source of livelihood, and those waiting to be able to repair their homes or return to their town and restore their lives. But the scale of needs exceeds the capabilities of the Lebanese state and its ability to bear these burdens alone.

The financial prosecution has shelved the case, buried its papers in its drawers. The waste merchants bury the waste in the belly of its mountain for the beneficiaries; they get medals, decorations and honors from it, while people get harm. 'This is' the country. May God help Sidon.
