SHADOW OF POLITICAL BICKERING
Along the security situation, many Lebanese fear a new round of power struggle, which has always affected the stability in the sectarian country.
In May 2008, rival Lebanese leaders inked the Doha accord in Qatar, which put an end to a 18-month-long political standoff that dragged the country to the brink of war. The accord was reached following a week of fierce clashes in Beirut between pro- government supporters and the Hezbollah-led opposition.
The latest one accrued in last year, as Saad Hariri spent almost half a year forming a national unity government which included both the majority and the opposition.
Now the government portfolios are divided as 15-10-5, which means that 15 portfolios go to the Western and Saudi-backed majority, 10 to the Syrian and Iranian-backed opposition and five to Lebanese President Michel Suleiman.
Yachoui said this kind of "power sharing agreement" can help the country avoid a more dangerous situation.
"No matter what comes, we believe that Lebanon is protected by that invisible hand," he concluded.
