Lebanese Women Council in solidarity with the Lebanese Army and calls for forming support committees

The Lebanese Women Council organized yesterday at the UNESCO Palace a solidarity event with the Lebanese army.  Key speakers included former Minister Mona Ofeiche, poet Randa Kage, former Council President Lawyer, Iqbal Doughan, and the current Council President, Jamal Hermez Ghabril who insisted in her speech on the total solidarity of the Council with the Army.  Ghabril saluted the army and deplored the inefficiency of politicians in resolving the problems face with Islamist extremists whilst the army is now the only protection for women and girls.
Former Council President, Linda Matar, insisted on the need to support the Lebanese army which has given martyrs to Lebanon. She suggested the setting up of small support committees composed of representatives of women and youth organizations who would go around schools and talk about the army to the young generations.  Matar added that the Army is a red line and the Council is in fact the popular parliament who should take on this suggestion and implement it.
