Amaqembu aphikisayo asole izwe elingumakhelwane iSyria ngalokhu kuhlasela.
Abaningi babhikishele iSyria namadlelandawonye ayo aseLebanon njengoba benovalo lokuthi ingxabano yaseSyria ingase ichitheke.
Ukubhekana ngeziqu zamehlo ngaphandle kwehhovisi likandunankulu kuthathe imizuzu embalwa.
Owayengondunankulu ababili - uSaad Hariri noFouad Siniora - bangenelele banxusa abalandeli babo ukuthi behlise umoya.
Imiphakathi yezenkolo yaseLebanon ihlukene phakathi phakathi kwalabo abeseka uhulumeni waseSyria - okuhlanganisa namaShia amaningi - nalabo iningi labo eliphuma emphakathini wamaSunni abeseka amavukelambuso.
Iqembu lamaShia eLebanon iHezbollah - elisondelene kakhulu nohulumeni waseSyria - likugxekile ukuqhuma kwebhomu.
UNgqongqoshe Wezolwazi waseSyria u-Omran al-Zoubi usibize “ngesenzo sobugwala, nobushokobezi”. Uthe izigameko ezifuze lezi “azinabulungiswa noma kuphi lapho zenzeka khona”.

Abantu bakhathazekile ngokuthi kungase kube nokunye ukuhlaselwa lapha.
Kunomqondo ozwakalayo wokwanda kwezokuphepha - ngisho nasezweni lapho kuhlale kunamaphoyisa amaningi kanye namasosha.
Kodwa kunokukhathazeka ngokuthi, nakuba ibutho laseSyria lahamba ngo-2005, iDamaseku iyakwazi ukufinyelela emphakathini waseLebanon ngokuqondile nangokusebenzisana kwayo.

Ngemva kosuku kuqhume ibhomu, uNdunankulu uMikati waphakamisa ukuthi ukuhlasela kwakuhlobene nalelo cala.
Abaningi ababezilile emngcwabeni wangeSonto baphephezelisa ifulegi eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka leqembu eliphikisayo elizinze eSunni iFuture Party, kanti abanye baphethe ifulegi lezwe laseLebanon.
