After the fish ... Lebanese singers search for tea by tagging "Where's Al Ceylani"

Eighth Newsletter - Your Bulletin (9/9/2020) monitored the Lebanese question through the hashtag “Where Al Silani” about the fate of dozens of planes loaded with aid that did not reach the people, as the activists say.

Activists called on donor countries to send aid to civil societies instead of the Lebanese government of quotas and corruption, as some called it.

This new noise came after the Lebanese Presidency website published a statement announcing that Lebanese President Michel Aoun thanked the President of Sri Lanka for the gift of Ceylon tea.

The statement confirmed that the Lebanese Army had received the shipment, and delivered it in turn to the presidential departments, where it was distributed to the families of the soldiers in the Republican Guard Brigade instead of those affected by the explosion.

In the first official statement after the Ceylon tea fuss, the official Lebanese Presidency account on Twitter posted a tweet in which he said, "The Sri Lankan shipment is two-fold, 1000 packages consisting of foodstuffs to the Lebanese, and 1675 kilograms of tea (gift) to His Excellency President General Michel Aoun." .

The account attached to the tweet a photo of what he said was an official correspondence proving that tea was a gift to the Lebanese president.

However, the activists on the Lebanese platforms were not persuaded by the presidential tweet, and they circulated a tweet published by the same account on August 24, in which he confirmed that President Aoun had met the Sri Lankan ambassador to Lebanon, who conveyed to him her country's condolences for the victims of the Beirut port explosion, and announced that Sri Lanka It provided 1,675 kilograms of Ceylon tea for the benefit of those affected by the explosion, considering that such assistance expresses the friendship between the Lebanese and Sri Lankan peoples.

Wide interactions on the Lebanese platforms through the hashtags "Ayna Al Silani" and "The Thief of Tea".

Lucien Borgeli wrote, “(Aoun: If it is proven that a member of my family is involved in corruption, he is ready to leave the presidency) August 30, 2020 ... Let us wait for you to leave the presidency and resign immediately after the scandal of 1,675 kilograms of tea stolen by the presidency .. in other countries, they quit for much less scandals than this. ".

On the other hand, the journalist Charbel Khalil wrote, "They water Lebanon with their blood, and you want to deprive them of a cup of tea."

While Abbas Haidar tweeted, "The president of the republic does not trust tea, so how can he be entrusted with a country plagued by a stifling economic crisis?"

As for Qassem Nasreddin, he wrote in defense of the Lebanese President, "They drum for the looters and stealers of public money and people's money, and aim at those who carry the banner of honor and fight corruption."
