To commemorate the Lebanese civil war, the two opposing political camps in Lebanon – March 8 and March 14 — chose this year to remember this day in a friendly football game in a show of solidarity.

Among the players in the 30-minute match were the following ministers and MPs: Ali Abdullah Ziad Baroud, Jebran Bassil, Mohammed Rahhal, Akram Shehayeb, Simon Abi Ramia, Ibrahim Kanaan, Ghassan Mukhaiber, Fadi Aawar, Alain Aoun, Ali Ammar, Serge Torsarkissian, Nadim Gemayel, Sami Gemayel and Ali Miqdad.

The game was hilarious to watch, and at the end Sami Gemayel scored two goals for the red team beating the white team 2-0.
