President Aoun, when asked what will happen if no government is formed: "We [Lebanese] are going to hell"
Opinion: When Aoun said we are going to hell, he is saying the truth.

Don't be scared, but before 1975 it all started with political parties creating their own scouts. The scout training was used to mask military training.

When the economy crumbles with no government, it will be hell. Scouts already started to pop up again.
Truth being told, on October 22, 1989, on the night of the ratification of the Taif Agreement, General Michel Aoun commented:

“This agreement will lead the people to hell.”

He repeated those words today.

Jumblatt to MTV: Aoun has no right to say that we are going to hell; I am a supporter of the settlement, and "when the storm blows, we must lean". https://t.co/EWQseAe4IT
Jumblatt to MTV: I called Hariri from Paris, and it was not positive; Berri told me that he is pressured to keep the Finance Ministry with the Shiite community [Find it it's his right to name his ministers].
Jumblatt to MTV: Neither the United States nor Iran want a government, and the US sanctions did not weaken Hezbollah, but rather Lebanon; I say to Sheikh Qablan, "It is not the time" to demand changing the Taif Agreement and I say the same thing to Patriarch Rahi.
Jumblatt to MTV: Iran and its representatives are hindering the last chance to save the country.
