44,000 sign petition for France to take control of Lebanon

Macron the white santa claus is back in town to spread prosperity in brown savage land. Time to spread some humanity among savages.
Many Lebanese look very white especially the Christians.
 
Wow an online poll with 60,000 signatures. That justifies colonizing another country. Western "democracy" at its finest.

Lebanese people want it. They should be careful for what they wish for.
 
So u are a Pakistani living in US and its fine. But if Lebanese wants to join France its a treason. LOL.

"Do what I say,not what I do".

The petition is signed by Christian Lebanese.

France should give asylum and refuge to the Christians in Lebanon who are willing to move,they sadly don't have any future there.

They would be a successful addition in Europe, as they re an accomplished expat community and they ran a vibrant country before the civil war
 
Sure let these French fries racist rednecks take over Lebanon just like these French Fries are killing the Black Africans.

Not to add large part of the Lebanese population is francophone and are accustomed to French culture,integration should be way easier.
 
Air bridges between France and Lebanon continue ;

44,000 sign petition for France to take control of Lebanon

06.08.2020

Over 44,000 people have signed an online petition to "place Lebanon under a French mandate for the next 10 years" as of Thursday afternoon.

The petition on the community petition website Avaaz was reportedly set up by Lebanese citizens on Wednesday following the explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday, killing over 140 people and injuring more than 5,000.

"Lebanon’s officials have clearly shown a total inability to secure and manage the country," the petition reads. "With a failing system, corruption, terrorism and militia the country has just reached its last breath."

"We believe Lebanon should go back under the French mandate in order to establish a clean and durable governance."

'Lebanese are desperate'

Dima Tarhini, from DW's Arabic department, said the petition had been circulating widely on Lebanese social media.

"That's how desperate some Lebanese are," she said. "So much has been lost from where there was already so little. They lost their homes, they lost their properties, they cannot save their children. They don't know what to do."

France controlled the Middle Eastern country from 1920 to 1945 under a mandate set up after World War I.

Macron visits Beirut

The petition was directed at French President Emmanuel Macron, who on Thursday became the first foreign leader to arrive in Beirut since the tragedy struck.

Macron warned that Lebanon will "continue to sink" without reforms as he arrived in Beirut. He promised that France will help mobilize aid for the city, which has seen billions of dollars worth of damage and destruction.

Macron told angry crowds in downtown Beirut that he would seek a new deal with political authorities.

"I guarantee you this — aid will not go to corrupt hands," Macron told protesters.

"I will talk to all political forces to ask them for a new pact. I am here today to propose a new political pact to them," he said.

Crowds protesting on Beirut’s street called for Macron to help oust the country’s leadership. Shock has quickly turned to anger in the city, with many commentators and protesters saying that corruption and incompetence among the political classes were responsible for the deadly explosion.

Prosecutors in France have opened an investigation into the explosion. At least 21 French citizens were injured and one killed in the blast.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, Lebanon was rocked by protests with people angry with the government and economy. A recent devaluation of the currency saw many Lebanese people lose thousands of dollars in savings.

Excluding the Christians of Egypt, large numbers of other mid east christians are actually quite unpatriotic. Even here in my country many of them think France/USA/UK actually cares about them LOL. Ofcourse many others are more patriotic than even their fellow muslims so it's not a golden rule or something.

I can tell you that because even I as a mid east Christian I used to be one of those who thought if NATO invades you then they are doing this for your own good and I changed my views 180° only after 2012 and started watching RT, The power of media should not be underestimated.
 
France is a LOSER nation, a little bit hyped because of the fancy toys it makes. Desperate to get its foot prints in the Middleast.
Off topic but it is a bit unfair when people tag France for single failure in history (World War 2 Debacle) as a failed nation.
France is the most successful European Country in its Military History. It has won the most battles of any Military in Europe.Not Even Great Britain can match its military prowess through out its History .The Nazis Steamrolled all of Europe and Britain was saved only by its geography as an Island as Germany didn't had a significant Navy and Troops carrying capacity over seas.
On Topic. People of Lebanon have seen one of the worst experience coming from a progressing trade hub. To a corrupt sectarian SH******. Their Desperation is not without a reason. While this demand is absurd and looks more like propaganda.
