During his last speeches, Hakim seemed very confident that the Opposition is doomed to fail in its demonstrations and strikes and sit-ins. Hakim got us used to his calmness, so let us hope he is accurate in his calculations.
Every speech after the other, i see a bit of the “Old” Hakim showing, and i remember the old speeches he used to give.
In today’s speech, Hakim gave some strong statements, and asked everyone to have a normal day tomorrow and never come back home under any circumstances, the army will keep the roads open and work shall continue normally.
Geagea said the general strike, scheduled for Tuesday by the Hizbullah-led opposition, has “failed in advance,” predicting that the majority of the Lebanese citizens would not abide by it despite intimidation by some opposition factions.
“Tomorrow,” Geagea said, “the Lebanese people will determine their future and that of their children.”
“It is the free choice of every citizen to express his opinion, either by observing the strike or disregarding it. So why are they intimidating the people?” Geagea asked.
Some opposition factions, according to Geagea, distributed leaflets advising the population to “remain at home. Don’t leave your homes unless there was an urgent need.”
“Why? Are we in a state of war? During the Israeli aggression last summer citizens were advised to remain indoors, but why now?” he asked.
“Because they (opposition) realized that their strike call would fail, or has actually failed,” he replied.
“Tomorrow, with God’s blessings, we’ll go to work, to schools, to fields … We should face evil with good, calm and determination,” he added.
“If roads were blocked, don’t return home. The army and security forces would reopen them … Be determined, but avoid provocation,” Geagea advised the Lebanese.
However, he held leaders of the opposition “responsible for any security problem … Our foes have lost their nerves.”
