New Update

After being barred from continuing the Beirut blast investigation, Judge Fadi Sawan was allowed to resume with questioning the country’s officials and civil servants as part of the probe into the Beirut Port explosion. This is good news to hear, especially for the hundreds of people which gathered in front of the Judge’s house in support of his drive to deliver justice. However, we should take this development with a pinch of salt; after all this is Lebanon.

Judge Sawan named two former ministers aligned with one of the most powerful political parties in Lebanon. Hence, the lifting of his suspension can imply that he can go on performing his duties while steering clear from the real culprits and the real truth.

In another development and according to Lebanese TV station MTV, cameras that were present at the blast site were mysteriously turned off before the incident. This adds a high degree of suspicion on the case and botches the very idea that blast was an accident. Connecting the dots with all what happened over the past months, one can sense fumes of treachery and malevolent intentions. In any case, time will tell and hopefully, what you just read are only the words of a skeptical person. Maybe the blast, the corruption, the division, and all whiches comes in between, are all nothing but an accident.
