That’s how we do it in Tripoli

The FPM's website @tayyar_org continues to publish the most sectarian filth. Here they are saying Tripoli is copying Homs and then suggests that armed militiamen from Idlib could be going there.
Tripoli is a Sunni-majority city. That's the only reason they'd target it.pic.twitter.com/kld240ttu0

An actual minister, wearing a Aoun shirt, singing the hela hela song but changing kes emmo to 'we love him'. You know, Lebanese politics.https://twitter.com/riadkobaissi/status/1190723082220126213?s=19 …

This is why I actually believe that Tripoli is a much bigger threat to the sectarian political establishment in Lebanon than Beirut is. Tripoli is the city (along with Akkar) most scapegoated in the media and in political discourse.https://twitter.com/LeShaque/status/1190762775276113920?s=19 …

The fact that protesters in Tripoli are so dedicated to an explicitly anti-sectarian narrative is something that the sectarian warlords-oligarchs do not know how to handle. They were just not prepared for Tripoli. All that's left for them to do is to demonise it.

Aoun supporters being interviewed at their pro-government rally in Baabda repeating the usual things: they insist that Aoun, who turned his political party into a family, enterprise is not corrupt. Everyone except him. He is untouchable.

This is why
#كلن_يعني_كلن is so threatening. The PM resigning is just one part of it. The two other main heavyweights now are the president (Aoun) and the speaker of parliament (Berri). That's why their respective supporters have been so active in disinformation campaigns.Show this thread -
One thing that I've seen some anti-gov ppl try to do is shame FPM supporters with stuff like "everyone else waves Lebanese flags, and you wave FPM flags". But the idea for them is that Aoun = Lebanon. Can they imagine a Lebanon without the 84 year old?

The sectarian warlords are actually going with "techno-political" now, to try and sell the notion that they can install a technocratic transition government while also retaining key positions. Again: Nabih Berri has been speaker of parliament since 1992.https://twitter.com/chehayebk/status/1190918955755544577?s=19 …

Theme of the rally: screw the people's demands, Aoun is God (You think I'm joking but they've already compared Aoun to Christ in the past)https://twitter.com/chehayebk/status/1190927380321390592?s=19 …

Again, whatever tweets I'll send you about Aounists they will say something worse. This one is literally saying that Gebran Bassil's mom is everyone's mom and that she is just below the virgin Maryhttps://twitter.com/dankar/status/1190929520834023429?s=19 …

Maybe once all of this is over we can all sit down and ask ourselves why groups of Lebanese people like the Aounyyeh are so desperate for father and mother figures? Yes?

FPM supporters insist on calling Aoun everyone's daddy and apparently now Gebran's mom is everyone's mommy. You know, Gebran as in Aoun's son-in-law Gebran. if Aoun is everyone's daddy and the mother of his son-in-law is everyone's mommy

We can spend hours mocking the FPM and its mind-blowing hypocrisy, but it really doesn't matter. What matters is that there is a new generation willing to do things differently. FPM supporters who are brave enough can always join us, as some already havehttps://twitter.com/JadChaaban/status/1190947903721873409?s=19 …

"sectarianism is the grave of nations". In smaller characters there's a grave with "Lebanon before October 17th", as in the country's being reborn outside of sectarianism. The fist says "revolution" of course.

Security forces have set up various barriers in Beirut as numbers have gone down. Don't know if protesters will remove them. Security forces haven't managed to do this in Tripoli as protesters there maintained the momentum. We'll see how it'll go in Beirut

"sectarianism" and "1975" (beginning of the civil war) being hanged on Riad el Solh right now (it's not an actual hanging, in case anyone is confused)
