Let’s wait and see if the Lebanese Government will file a complaint and ask for clarifications.

Oil-rich Gulf emirate Abu Dhabi expelled around twenty Lebanese nationals without any clear reasons, media reports said on Wednesday. According to al-Akhbar newspaper, Abu Dhabi authorities deported the Lebanese citizens last week, noting that they have been living in the emirate for a long period of time.

The newspaper said that the decision came immediately into effect without allowing the Lebanese to settle their work in the UAE. The reasons behind the deportation are still unclear, the daily said. [Naharnet]
