All Stop until Full Syrian Withdrawal

By: Freedom Fighter

March 2/2005

 

The Lebanese puppet regime came to power on top of Syrian tanks after a massive bombardment of Lebanon that lasted years. Since 1990, we have refused to recognize it, nor to play by its rules. Through our valiant resistance, we kept the flame of hope burning through dark long years of oppression and exodus. We are not giving up now or ever. We do not recognize anything that occurred in Lebanon since the Syrian occupation. All treaties and laws enacted between Syria and its appointed regime are null and void.  All institutions are infiltrated and we need to topple all instruments of the current regime. To hell with the current Syrian-controlled Parliament. To Hell with Lahoud, to hell with the corrupt judiciary.

Hello sweet Cedar Revolution!

 

We shall not allow the Syrian regime to play the game any further. We do not accept any transition offered or managed by the current puppet regime. We demand the immediate resignation of Lahoud and the dissolution of parliament. We shall not accept a “neutral” government as floated by some quarters to oversea the upcoming election. There is no neutrality when is comes to the freedom of our people, our sovereignty and independence. We shall then form a new National Unity Government representing all Lebanese, to oversee the immediate Syrian withdrawal and the organization of the coming election. All members of the new government must swear allegiance to Lebanon and to no other power.

 

 In addition we shall seek the following:

 

  1. The Syrian Army must withdraw immediately from Lebanon along with all its intelligence operatives.
  2. All heads of the security services must be immediately fired and investigated for their role in assassinations, kidnap, arrests, and torture of our people since 1990.
  3. Conduct the elections under the auspices of the United Nations and extend invitations to international observers need to monitor the elections which would be held in a free atmosphere with a free media.
  4. Request an expanded role for the UN forces currently stationed in the south so that they can be deployed along our borders with Syria to protect against and witness any further aggression from the Syrian Baathist dictatorship.
  5. The Syrian Baathist regime must be toppled. Democracy must be established.
  6. Syrian Baathist officials and all war criminals must be surrendered and tried for crimes against humanity. Syria must also disarm.
  7. Syria must issue a historical apology for the atrocities it committed in Lebanon. Syrian History books must reflect the truth about the horrible actions of the Assad dictatorship.  Syria must pay reparations to the families of its victims.
  8. Syria must renounce in public and in writing all territorial claims against Lebanon, open an embassy in Beirut, and exchange ambassadors. We will only accept relations with a democratic Syria. All Syrian visitors to Lebanon shall be required to request a visa from our consulate in Damascus. All Syrian nationals must immediately leave Lebanon.
  9. The nationalization decree that falsely granted the Lebanese nationality to 400 thousand Syrians and Palestinians shall be immediately reversed. All individuals nationalized under the Syrian occupation shall not be allowed to vote in any Lebanese election and their deportation should commence promptly except in extreme humanitarian cases.
  10. All treaties and agreements signed since 1990 shall be declared null and void because they were forced upon the Lebanese under duress.
  11. Lebanon should seek a peace treaty with Israel, and all surrounding democracies. It is time to stop the charade and the brainwashing. The only enemy that we have had for a long time has been the Syrian dictatorship that has attempted to annihilate us. If Israel wishes peace, then we should warmly welcome it and open a new page.
  12. Even though we have accepted the Taef-related internal constitutional changes, we seek a secular humanistic Lebanon, one that is religion blind, which gives equal opportunity to all its children from the Naquoura in the south, to the Nahr El Bared in the north, From Beirut to the Masnaa, regardless of ethnic, religious, color, gender, or national origins.

 

Long Live Free Lebanon
