Beirut: Authorities in the Lebanese capital renamed the stretch of the airport road that was known as Hafez Al Assad Avenue after 1991 as President Camille Chamoun Boulevard.
A brief ceremony was held earlier this week in the presence of Dory Chamoun, the son of the country’s second president, along with representatives from the National Liberal Party and the Camille Chamoun Association.
The celebration of the reversion to the old name occurred in front of the Monroe Hotel in Beirut where the Minister of Education, Elias Bou Saab, delivered a short speech saying: “President Camille Chamoun inspires us through his political work to be open to all citizens of the nation.
“The lesson here today on the eve of Lebanon’s Independence Day is that Lebanon is only strong through the solidarity of its people and their rallying around their institutions, Constitution and president.”
What was left out in the brief talk, delivered in the presence of deputy Bahia Hariri and Beirut Governor Ziad Chebib, was the pain that many felt when traditions were upset during the three decades-long Syrian occupation of the country.
By Reuters Nov 24 Lebanon's economy is expected to
grow 1.5 to 2 percent in 2016, Central Bank Governor Riad
Salameh said in a televised speech in Beirut on Thursday, in
line with ratings agency forecasts. Inflation in 2016 was expected to be close to zero percent,
he said, in a speech to a banking conference. Salameh added that central bank reserves in September were
at historically high levels and that bank deposits had risen at
an annualised rate approaching five percent. Ratings agency Fitch said in July it expected real growth in
Lebanon's gross domestic product to remain lower than 2 percent
in 2016. Moody's said in the same month that it expected the
economy to grow at a rate of 1.7 percent this year. Lebanon's economy has for years been hindered by regional
unrest, including the war in neighbouring Syria, and by its own
political crisis. But the election of President Michel Aoun this month after a
two-and-a-half-year period without a president, and the expected
formation of a new Lebanese government with Saad al-Hariri as
prime minister, may help alleviate Lebanon's political deadlock.
Bin Jiddo said that Al Mayadeen journalists “reacted with deep outrage to the European Parliament’s vote in favor of the resolution criticizing Russian media and calling to counteract them.” “Despite the fact that this resolution is non-binding, it reflects the level of devastation in consciousness and mind of political and media leaders of the circles that are behind this decision. Those, who voted in favor of the repression of free speech, for monopolization of truth, in fact, admit their weakness. They do not accept the influence that you exert on the European and global public opinion,” the letter said.
