In my new commentary in @Badilmedia, I argue that the #Lebanese state does hold leverage just not the kind that gets enough attention but "credibility" leverage built on its legitimacy, consistencies and political distancing from armed actors.

I joined @TVPWorld_com to discuss the latest developments around the ceasefire extension and what this moment could mean for the next rounds of negotiations, between

@safieddine00 Unfortunately not all see it this way and it's more black and white for them. Decades of propaganda and brainwashing meant that there was only one way to fight for Lebanon and that is through the virtue in"sacrifice for an obscure leader"

Wishing a happy 10th anniversary to @EEDemocracy!
In Moldova, the EED has had a vital role in empowering democracy activists. Together, we've defended democracy over the past 10 years.
Here is to another remarkable decade of promoting freedom and democratic values.
"Challenges for democracy have increased lately while democratic backsliding continues...the state of democracy is not as it was after the fall of the Berlin wall" - Mr. Jan Knutsson @EEDemocracy#EEDat10
"EED has become an innovative and highly esteemed member of the democracy support community," says @hadjalahbib, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs. #EEDat10
Chair @davidmcallister MEP started the Open Session of the EED Board of Governors: "In recent years EED has proved the effectiveness of its flexible democracy support, providing a hybrid response to hybrid threats." #EEDat10
Today we celebrate our 10th anniversary with an Open Session of our Board of Governors at the Egmont Palace in Brussels. The event will gather EED friends, partners and supporters who helped us defend democracy over the past 10 years: https://t.co/54cj9Xb9y5 #EEDat10
"لكننا في لبنان، جمهورية قنص الحرية. لكننا في لبنان، امارة الهيبة، ولو مستعارة. وفي لبنان، الغريزة السائدة هي غريزة المنع، والاستسلام سريع إلى سليقة الرقابة".
#سمير_قصير، ٢٠٠٢، "صدقية المنع"
تحيةً لسمير، مستمرّون في مقاومة المنع، في كسر الرقابة، وفي اعتناق غريزة الحرّية.
