Beirut, on November 21, 2017
The Independence of our country was the fruit of its great men meeting back then, about the union, the participation and the charter to live together. The Independence is not just a date from the history that we remember, but it’s a national spirit that should face all difficulties and problems, with the persistent and continuous trial in order to perform the Lebanese aim that gather all Lebanese people in one pot, which is the human space of freedom, dignity and the honorable life.
Furthermore, it is necessary for every citizen to be aware and attentive to the accuracy of the current situation in which the Arab world encounters; where it is essential to take precautions against Israeli plans for the creation of agitation in the classes of citizens. We warn our sons not to fall into error and not to delude themselves under different unreal subjects and out of the way of Arab-Islamic identity.
