Mikati Snubs Aoun
February 18, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
In his typical gentle way of course:
While showing understanding toward Aoun’s political concerns, Mikati is committed to taking into account Sleiman’s position on the Cabinet lineup, the sources said. [..] When the new government is formed, it will not include any “provocative” ministers or personalities difficult to deal with, the source said.
Translation: “Gebran Bassil can forget about the Ministry of Interior, and I might still give it to Ziad Baroud if the President asks me to”
