Macron will visit Fayrouz next week

Elaf from Beirut: Yesterday, the Elysee Palace announced that French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Lebanese “singing legend” Fairuz during his visit to Lebanon next Monday.

84-year-old Fayrouz is known as a private individual and is rarely seen in public, but throughout her career she has impressed her fans with her songs of love and praise for the beauty of her politically troubled country.

Fayrouz had previously sung during the civil war from the heart of the French capital, and he appealed to Paris with words in which he carried the peace and love of Lebanon and an affirmation of friendship with Paris, “ the flower of freedom and the history’s past, ” as the song said at the time, and asked him what he would say to a wounded Lebanon that is crowned with danger and wind.

The visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Lebanon will begin next Monday and will continue until Tuesday, as he will visit the neighborhoods affected and affected by the Beirut port explosion, and will continue the distribution of aid to the population.

During his visit, he will meet with NGOs and United Nations agencies, as well as some of the 400 French soldiers who have been deployed in recent weeks to help unload nearly 1,000 tons of medical, food or reconstruction aid sent from France. .
Emmanuel Macron will return to Lebanon next week, in an attempt to break the political impasse that prevents the formation of an “important government” capable of restoring the country after the devastating explosion on August 4.

Marcon’s visit will also have a symbolic dimension of Franco-Lebanese relations, as he will plant cedars with Lebanese children in the Jaj forest in northeast Beirut, where the country’s symbolic tree flourishes.

A violent explosion shook the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on the fourth of this month, and it turned out that its origin was the flag 12 of the port of Beirut, which contained huge amounts of ammonium nitrate.

The explosion left around 180 dead, more than 6 thousand injured and dozens missing, as well as massive material damage, with losses estimated at 15 billion dollars, according to unlimited official figures.
