NNA – Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdellatif Derian on Monday upped calls for the protection of the military and security institutions in Lebanon and for filling the vacant posts.
nbsp;
quot;Had it not been for the wisdom and national responsibility these institutions and their commands enjoy, Lebanon would have witnessed internal strife in Qornet el-Sawda and Akkar, and in Khaldeh, Tayouneh, and other Lebanese regions,quot; said Derian.
quot;The army guarding the nation and its borders in the face of the Israeli enemy must be supported in all fields,quot; he stressed.
Touching on the financial situation, Derian voiced concerns of a financial crisis after the expiry of the term of the central bank#39;s governor.
nbsp;
His remarks came during the meetings he held at Dar-al-Fatwa today, respectively, with Army Commander General Joseph Aoun and a delegation of officers, and Internal Security Forces Chief Major General Imad Othman.
Derian also met today with Lebanon#39;s Ambassador to Algeria Mohammad Hassan.
