“Yintlekele le kuba besilungiselela ixesha elithembisayo nangona kukho iingxaki zopolitiko,” utshilo uJoe Sarkis kudliwanondlebe lwaseBeirut namhlanje. "Ukuba izinto azibuyeli esiqhelweni ngokukhawuleza, njengoko ngoku siphakathi kuMeyi, oko kuthetha ukuba siza kuphulukana ngomnye unyaka wesizini."

Olu ngquzulwano lweza emva kokuba urhulumente egxothe umphathi wezokhuseleko kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseBeirut emva kokufunyanwa kwenkqubo yokucupha nge-elektroniki esetyenziswa ngumbutho.

Akukho Ixesha eliQhelekileyo
“Ngamaxesha aqhelekileyo sinokuthathela ingqalelo ingeniso evela kukhenketho notyalo-mali olunxulumeneyo malunga ne-4 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngonyaka,” utshilo uSarkis. Ukusukela ngemfazwe kaJulayi ka-2006 no-Israel asikhange sibenalo ixesha eliqhelekileyo lokhenketho.
