Former MP Gebran Tawk is apparently destroying a part of Bcharreh’s ancient Cedar Forest to set up an outdoor venue for his son’s wedding. Nadine from LBC Blogs managed to get some pictures of what’s happening near the Cedars Forest. You can check them out [Here].
“Sources told AL-Akhbar newspaper that Former Deputy Gebran Tawk is planning the wedding of his son on a piece of land adjacent to the ancient forest.
Bulldozers began settling the ground and transporting rocks and gravel in preparation for the ceremony which will last for 3 days, and which will be attended by nearly three thousand people.
It is worth noting that the ancient forest is listed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO; a list that requires the protection of classified sites and their surroundings within an area exceeding 500 square meters; however, the preparation activities carried out in the vicinity may obliterate the existence of the forest…”
If this is true, then politicians (current and ex-) care less about Lebanon than I thought they did – and my opinion about them was pretty low to start with.
Of course, this incident will pass without anything actually being done about it.
good need for wedding
Chal3it Ghanam bi mazra3a kbireh!
Balad byeswa jazma!
Yoftahouloun chi Kossara fo2 kamen!
ma fhemet leih n7ashar yetjawaz bi nos el ghabe fi gheir ma7alet
nobody really cares.. if they did, this event would never take place in this location
Pity … Honestly, we do not deserve a nation.
someone should organize a protest before and during the wedding day..and maybe set up a big camp to screw up the wedding! people like these don’t deserve any respect and should be fined and jailed and even banned from this country
idiots!

Bravo. Bokra 3al 2entikhebet ntekhbo zet l 3alam! I applause your nagging now and I look forward to see the next election results!
Even our national anthem won’t be relevant in a couple of years.
“أرزُهُ رمزُهُ”…sure
another reason to be proud to be lebanese…right
Who do these Tawk family crooks think they are? Bunch of army and drug dealers screwing our heritage! I’m in for a protest to stop the work Grrrrr!
Speechless! Even marriage lost his meaning in this crappy country… A 3 day wedding will possibly celebrate a 3 day marriage. Messed up society fooled by materialism and hypocrisy. Tfeh!
HAYDE ARZET LEBNEN!!! HAYDE ARZET LEBNEN !!!
Another atrocity done to Lebanon that will go unnoticed or unaccounted for.
woil balad mashi, walayhimak…
Ma tenza3oula el 3eres la strida dakhilkoun
we deserve a wasteland…, not this countries landscape
we deserve a wasteland…, not this countrys* landscape
Astonishing and AWFUL!
Lebnen el akhdar 2al..
Lebanese landmarks are becoming history on paper!
Its shameful the Tawk family is doing this. Its even more shameful 3000 people will come and support this travesty.
