Watching the progress of events at the Hariri international tribunal brought back sad memories to most of Lebanese who recapitulated in regressive state the calamities that struck Lebanon long before Rafik Hariri played any public role in the Lebanese arena.
With Hariri many other politicians and innocent citizens lost their lives to terrorism and hate, to tyranny and hidden dictatorship…
But the tribunal can be a message of hope to those demanding international justice, security and peace.
Those of us who followed the beginning of events prior to Hariri and still continuing till present day know who executed the assassination of Hariri and all other politicians, but who perpetrated, planned and conspired is a different story. The assassination of Hariri involves more than one conspirator and the aims are more than one target, by removing Hariri and his allies from the political scene in Lebanon directly targeted the independence of Lebanon from Syrian occupation of which he was an insurmountable obstacle and indirectly targeted to stifle the influence of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon and as was revealed later the very role of Saudi Arabia in the whole of the Middle East.
Who would benefit from the killing of a peaceful loving human who never involved in anything other than successful business and later a very successful political performance, A philanthropist who extended hand and worm welcome to all of those who associated with him be it on the political, business or humanitarian level.
Rafik Hariri and his fellow martyrs deserve justice.
Humanity deserves justice as we all do…
South Africa recently lost their Mandela and so did India their Gandhi but as for the Lebanese and the Middles East we lost our own Hariri, the difference is our loss was not due to natural death.
May justice prevail and may peace reign in Lebanon soon.
But we still want and need to know the truth in literal terms and not in theory.
Good luck Saad Hariri and family and hopeful wishes to all of us who seek justice and peace in the forsaken Lebanon.
Adam El masri
