What is Taef ?
Posted by N10452I used to hear people attack Taef, defend Taef, say we should not have signed it and keep arguing for hours, then i realize they havent even read Taef.
Who wants and who doesnt want Taef ?
In October 1989, The Lebanese National Assembly met in Taef, Saudi Arabia to put end to the Lebanese civil war, and from this meeting came out the Taef agreement. Taef was a not a great accord since Lebanese, mainly Christians, were signing it as a partially losing team, however if Lebanese had united back then behind Taef, we would have surpassed this accord and achieve what took us 16 years to do.
I hear the 8th of march team, mainly Hezbollah defend Taef and say it should be applied, however it looks like someone has ben reading the whole article to Hassan.
I hope you re-read this crucial partin Taef:
A. Disbanding of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias shall be announced. The militias’ weapons shall be delivered to the State of Lebanon within a period of 6 months, beginning with the approval of the national accord charter. The president of the republic shall be elected. A national accord cabinet shall be formed, and the political reforms shall be approved constitutionally.
B. The internal security forces shall be strengthened through:
1. Opening the door of voluntarism to all the Lebanese without exception, beginning the training of volunteers centrally, distributing the volunteers to the units in the governorates, and subjecting them to organized periodic training courses.
2. Strengthening the security agency to insure control over the entry and departure of individuals into and out of the country by land, air, and sea.
C. Strengthening the armed forces:
1. The fundamental task of the armed forces is to defend the homeland, and if necessary, protect public order when the danger exceeds the capability of the internal security forces to deal with such a danger on their own.
2. The armed forces shall be used to support the internal security forces in preserving security under conditions determined by the cabinet.
3. The armed forces shall be unified, prepared, and trained in order that they may be able to shoulder their national responsibilities in confronting Israeli aggression.
4. When the internal security forces become ready to assume their security tasks, the armed forces shall return to their barracks.
5. The armed forces intelligence shall be reorganized to serve military objectives exclusively.
