Away “from Wednesday’s parliamentary session to elect the missing president in a time of sectarian conflict and what it will produce in terms of numbers, display of muscles, and waiting to go to dialogue options or go to the third option or the open vacuum until a settlement or open options ripen at the level of fundamental amendments at the heart of the constitution, the system and the social contract as a whole. And away.” About the political uproar and economic collapse in the Land of the Cedars, where boredom with everything that is going on and the state of persistent disgust that strikes the souls of the Lebanese from north to south, whose solutions do not seem to be soon, and most likely, as the great Mansour Rahbani said, has become sharpened at the gates of the world or in the offices of ambassadors, except for what is left Very few know how to speak only the authentic Lebanese.
Accordingly, the struggle rages in Lebanon, many developing countries, and some emerging countries over chairs, positions, and high positions. Among many parties and candidates, it is due to their scientific and practical experience, the desire of their parties, and a personal desire to reach the position. But the urgent question here: Does everyone who looks in his mirror in the morning and says I am worthy of it deserve access?
Rather, the bigger question: Do many people realize that they are in a failed state model according to international standards for failed states? Consequently, do they realize that these countries need a miracle to rise and we are not in a time of miracles?!!!!!!!
Proceeding from that, we remind everyone who desires to reach any of the positions, whether it was presidency or governorship of the Central Bank, does he realize that the standards of failed states are almost achieved in many countries, including the wounded homeland of rice, which is dying before everyone’s eyes.
In a preliminary reading of those eight criteria for failed states and their projection on the Lebanese reality, you will find the following outputs: The first is the extreme poverty criterion. It is sufficient to recall here the ESCWA report about 82 percent of the Lebanese people who have become poor in the three dimensions of food, education and health. The second is the criterion of apartheid, and the hadeeth has a long and relevant discussion on how to truly approach issues that have become a matter of debate between all parties, the latest of which is the issue of the displaced in the country. And the third is the rule of the least qualified, and here the talk about the administration and its flabbyness is decades ago, and therefore, structuring the administration, enhancing transparency, supporting competencies, and removing corruption and corruptors must be a priority for anyone coming to any position after Lebanon has become among the countries in the lead in corruption indicators.
As for the fourth criteria, it is the absence of the rule of law, legislation and rights, and here it is enough to recall the port explosion (Piroshima), which until now did not find its way to the truth, as the tragedy of the families of the martyrs and the wounded, the thousands of those affected, and a city that has not yet healed its wounds. The fifth criterion for failed states is a weak central government. In this regard, it suffices to recall that the formation of governments takes months and months, and production is ultimately the result of quotas and settlements, rather than radical decisions. Not the least of which is the weakness of decision-making in crucial issues, the latest of which is the municipal elections and all the confusion that accompanies them, not to mention the electricity plans and appointments…etc..
As for the sixth criteria, it is evident in the collapse of public services, and here is the major disaster, from electricity to water and roads, and the list goes on. The seventh factor in the criteria for failed states is almost inseparable from most of the country’s politicians, which is internal and external political exploitation, and here all the parties lend each other their dependence on the outside, and very few speak of politics in the spirit of the lofty cedar and the language of clean and honorable patriotism. and citizen. The eighth criteria hints at it with every newcomer to the ruling committee and at every appointment in the state, which is fighting over the remaining resources and jobs, and here I remember the saying of the master of poets Al-Mutanabbi when he satirized Kafur Al-Ikhshidi saying:
Egypt’s watch-watchers slept on their foxes, as they lost their scent and the clusters did not perish
So, what is left of the grapes, bunches, jobs, and deposits with the temple robbers? Have mercy on Lebanon and the Lebanese.
