Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat revealed on Friday that the reconciliation in the Mountains was complete after the end of violations against Christian properties in a mixed village in the Shouf district.

“We will hold a reconciliation ceremony under the auspices of the (Maronite) patriarch and the president after the wound of the town of Brih healed following the end of violations against the properties of Christians,” Jumblat told reporters in Bkirki. “When Patriarch (Beshara) al-Rahi visited the Shouf last summer, we promised him to work on healing the old wound caused by the painful events in the Mountains,” he said.

“With the end of violations against the land of the Christians in Brih, we put a closure to all the pain of the war in the Mountains,” he told reporters following talks with the head of the Maronite church. [Link]
