I ve been reading what most of the users are posting here, not to mention LFers on political forums and in discussion groups, there is a general feeling of miscontent and disgust among many, some are hiding it by defending wrong decisions blindly, some are staying quiet, and others are letting go everything.

Of course we should not forget that many are also satisfied with whats happening, and fully agree with the LF’s current actions. I fully respect their opinion, but honestly they are not seeing the whole picture.

What is happening in the LF nowadays is not new, we had several dark years where many comrads left, leadership was deviating from the Cause or simply where internal fights erupted and had to fixed.
However, our current fight is not similar to HK-Hakim one back in the 80s, it is not a military one but a political one and there is no such thing as one team winning over the other in such fights.
Its either both teams meet, discuss and understand their differences or its both teams fighting and the LF being the only loser.

I ve heard many calls for meetings between Hakim and the LFers who are not quite pleased how things are being run. I remember Massira’s call for such a meeting to resolve internal issues almost a year or 2 before Hakim was released, same for Antoine Najm’s call for a general LF convention.

The only way out of this current crisis is through such a meeting, and i urge Hakim to take more time to fix our internal matters and resolve it as quickly as possible, because it will have fatal consequences in the near future if things are kept as they are.

Finally, i d like to ask all LFers who are feeling desperate, disgusted or rejected by the LF to remember an important thing.
The LF is not Bashir Gemayel, is not Samir Geagea, is not Antoine Najm, is not any person’s belonging. Therefore quitting the LF is not really an option, since you ll be dropping your own beliefs. Better fight for the LF you know, you believe in and you feel committed too, and defend its principles and critisize any LFer who deviates from those principles, even if it was Hakim himself.

Finally, i repeat my call for Hakim to organize a general convention dedicated to our internal problems and invite all parties in order to put things in order.
I am sure many people close to Hakim are reading this thread, do it as a favor for the LF and pass the message.

Wanabka.
