Bambi remains speechless by the unacceptable violence that took place in Beirut yesterday (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58901611).
Indeed, she has wished her parents’ medications were more easily accessible than all the heavy weapons deployed on that sad day.
This being said, her heart goes to all those who lost their lives and may the injured people all heal. How sad to see the population of Lebanon being taken hostage of both the corruption and violence.
Sadly, Bambi learned from this interview that Judge Bitar (the investigator of the surrealistic Beirut port explosion) has faced many obstacles in his mission, both domestically and externally.
Of note, the message of the President of the Beirut Bar Association resonated with Bambi: Yes, may Lebanon remains a democracy, which means neither the law of the jungle nor a dictatorship.
To conclude this post, Bambi feels like adding the following: today more than ever, as a deer who strongly believes in democracy, she is Judge Tarek Bitar (along with the population of his country who is behind him).
Well Bambi, what happened in Beirut yesterday is a replica of similar incidents that occurred back in May 2007 (named” Black Shirts Demonstration”) which triggered Doha Agreement. Unfortunately, this time no International mentor is ready to bring political parties to the negotiation table. Complete black-out on Lebanon. Too bad for those who lost their lives so “cheaply” because of a lost bullet !!
Lebanon is facing an existential risk , yesterday was only a small prove of that. There is always a trade-off to be made between Justice (suing criminals behind Beirut Explosion) and Peace (avoid sectarians incidents like yesterday which could trigger a civil war). May God be with all living there !
