Elections 2022: Khat Ahmar goes out in full force



Well it turned out that Khat Ahmar is already spoofing the Lebanese Foces (remember that teaser?)! Now Khat Ahmar is one of the civil organizations that were bequeathed by the October 17 2019 movements/revolution. Their motto is simple "kellon ya3ne kellon" (all of them means all of them). So they want to restart from scratch. To prove it they are attacking the two main Christian factions, the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces.

"There are those who team up with Berri (head of parliament Nabih Berri) and does not vote with him

There are those who do not team up with Berri and vote for him

And there are those who team up with no one and against all of them means all of them"


"There are those against family heritage but bring in the son in law (in reference to Gibran Bassil, who is the son in law of the President Michel Aoun and leader of the latter's party)

And there are those who are against the son in law but bring in the wife (in reference to Sethrida Geagea, wife of Sami, head of the Lebanese Forces)

And there are those who are with the competence and against all of them means all of them"


"There are those who are against corruption but are allies of Joumblatt (in reference to Walid, head of the Progressist Socialist Party and de facto leader of the Druze faction)

There are those who say they are against Joumblatt but ally themselves with corruption

And there are those who are against corruption and against all of them means all of them"

Yes, I am aware that is a lot of explanation for ads that normally should be swallowed more easily. The other thing is that, at this point KhatAhmar has positioned itself as an "against" but did not declare what it wanted or more to the point, how it wanted it done (incredibly complex in the current political topography of the Lebanese scene). If this "manifesto" is any indication, Khat Ahmar better sober up.
