“we could not be more grateful to the French”

April 7, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

The Lebanese returning from Ivory Coast are having some really good things to say about the French who helped them over there. Also check out this video of a Lebanese in Abidjan saying “long live Sarkozy” as a french helicopter arrives to help them.

As a mental exercise, I was wondering what is it that Lebanon can do to express proper gratitude to France.

But the job is still far from done. The Lebanese saved by the French are a lucky few. Many Lebanese families like this one still need help, and I hope things get better for them soon..
