MP Ali Darwish stated that the Minister of Interior has reported that there is no sufficient data at this time regarding the investigations into the events in Tripoli.
The National News Agency reported that MP Ali Darwish said in a press interview: "Up to this hour, we have not been informed of any new information regarding the investigation into the recent events in Tripoli," referring to Minister of Interior Mohammed Fahmy informing them that there are no sufficient data at this time in the investigation process that can be announced. Darwish added that the situation has been addressed by the political actors of Tripoli and representatives of the municipality to the security agencies to understand the reasons behind what happened and who is responsible for pushing these young people to set public facilities on fire, noting the statement from the meeting held with the Mufti of the North.
Darwish pointed out three key points that must come together to achieve relative stability in the city. First, the people should be given the minimum of their rights or assistance through an emergency workshop specific to Tripoli, focusing on what the state can provide, especially the ministries of social affairs, health, and public works, in an exceptional manner during this phase, to alleviate the city's pain.
He added that the second point to help achieve stability is what the security leadership can do, noting that there has been communication in the past two days between Tripoli leaders and Army Commander General Joseph Aoun, who took the initiative and sent reinforcements for the Lebanese Army to Tripoli. Therefore, the ground movement in the past two days was different from before, where there was a confrontation against any attempts at chaos. The third point is to expedite the identification of any parties that might be inciting what happened; exposing them means revealing them to public opinion and even legally taking appropriate measures.
Darwish emphasized that by implementing these points, calm can return to the city, warning against heading towards chaos, which is not suitable for Tripoli or Lebanon, as its repercussions could spread across various Lebanese territories. Regarding the parties behind the city's events, Darwish clarified that they can only be objective and calm to avoid premature conclusions without having concrete data, pointing out their reliance on a moderate and peaceful approach rather than jumping to conclusions without data. Thus, waiting for a statement from the relevant security authorities is what will relieve everyone, and this is what we demand because we cannot step outside the state's umbrella.
