You can kill a journalist but you cannot kill his or her message. You can muzzle the media but you cannot silence the truth, freedom of expression. Rest In Peace martyr Lukman Slim

2/2 This investigation must not follow the pattern of the Beirut port blast investigation that 6 months on remains inconclusive and without accountability. People must know the truth.

1/2 I am greatly disturbed by the tragic loss of Lokman Slim - a respected activist and journalist, a honest independent voice of courage. I request the authorities to investigate this tragedy in a speedy and transparent way and draw the necessary consequences

2/2 To the Lebanese leaders, I say put the needs of your country and people first. To the Lebanese people, I say do not lose faith in yourselves and in your country and in the ability to achieve the future of dignity you aspire to and deserve!

1/2 I am leaving #Lebanon today but my heart will stay here with this remarkable country and people, who are so unique in their diversity and resilience

I thank you @stefanodelcol for the support and excellent cooperation during the past two years, for all the dedication and commitment of yourself and @UNIFIL_ in the service of #peace and security in #Lebanonhttps://twitter.com/stefanodelcol/status/1354801564066537475 …

2/2 ... to the political elites – form an effective government w/out further delay. People cannot tolerate anymore this free-fall to abyss.

1/2 Increased level of violence, notably during protests in Tripoli, with a number of injured, some gravely both among protesters and security forces is yet another message …

Visit of PM @Hassan_B_Diab to PM-D @saadhariri is a strong, courageous and positive move that can help overcome the current deadlock in the government formation process. I hope other steps and gestures of wisdom for the sake of Lebanon and its people will follow soon.

It is inhuman and irresponsible not to move forward with the technical investigation of the #Beirut port blast. How can people get compensation from insurance companies if there is no verdict what caused the blast?

Will the new administration in Washington finally move the parties to create a new government led by PM @saadhariri ? A new government doesn’t automatically mean the end of the crisis ,but no government just contributes to deepening of the collapse & the suffering of the people

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful #NewYear , with the hope that 2021 restores faith in a more peaceful, sustainable and equitable future that, for many, was shaken by the unprecedented challenges of the past year

The economy and financial, banking system is in shambles, social peace starts to crumble down, security incidents on the rise, the edifice of #Lebanon is shaking in its fundaments. And political leaders seem to wait for Biden. But this is Lebanon, not the USA.

#MerryChristmas ! May this holy day’s spirit of love, joy and sharing offer reprieve and #hope, especially to those who feel worn down, lonely or helpless after a year of many difficult challenges!

When and how will Minister Ghazi Wazni and Governor Riad Salame respond to the lifting of banking secrecy from public accounts?

The adoption of a law criminalizing sexual harassment by #Lebanon Parliament is a welcome step forward in consolidating women’s & human rights. I hope it will also help remove a barrier 4 the participation of women in public & political life. The key now is in its implementation!https://twitter.com/unwomenlebanon/status/1340972798412546048 …

Congratulations to #Lebanon and to @AmbMudallali on gaining a membership seat at the UN Peacebuilding Commission for 2021-2022 and a say in broad international #peace efforts!https://twitter.com/AmbMudallali/status/1338553303467241472 …
