[22 July 2012] Tensions high over Lebanon national dialogue - English
After Lebanese president Michel Suleiman finally succeeded in resuming national dialogue in June between Lebanese factions, the prospects of its continuation look bleak.

The March 14 movement announced its intention to boycott the upcoming dialogue session over what it called Hezbollah's refusal to discuss its arms. March 14 has long demanded that dialogue tackle what it calls the illegitimate arms, accusing Hezbollah of making decisions of war and peace.
