Lebanon President Michel Aoun warns 'civil peace is a red line ... it is everyone's responsibility' as protests over economic crisis take a sectarian tone
President Michel Aoun cautions against bids to destabilise"security and the street" after angry protests over the Arab country's economic crisis.
"Civil peace is a red line, and ... it is everyone's responsibility," Aoun said at the presidential palace in Baabda on Thursday. "We touched the atmosphere of civil war in a worrying way. Movements replete with sectarian tensions were launched in a suspicious manner," Aoun said. Lebanon has entered talks with the International Monetary Fund, hoping to secure billions of dollars in aid to boost its tanking economy.
