BEIRUT: Lebanon is facing plan that aims to divide Arab countries into warring states and prevent diversity or coexistence, General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim said Wednesday.

“Nobody can follow the general developments without noticing that the Arab region is heading toward new plans that spur fear and anxiousness,” Ibrahim said in a column published by the General Security Magazine.
“The events and massacres occurring in Iraq and Syria and other [countries] draw the borders of [new] ethnic and sectarian entities with blood.”
Ibrahim said the attacks against Lebanon by fundamentalist groups are part of such plans, which are discussed internationally in “closed rooms filled with maps of hypothetical statelets.”
Warning that the region is “facing death,” Ibrahim held that those behind the destructive plans aim to prevent any “dialogue between civilizations,” and thus endangers the essence of Lebanon.
“This tragic scene that wraps the region has started to threaten the core of the Lebanese model, and to target the culture of life and coexistence,” he wrote. “It is eliminating [Lebanon’s] particularity and bites what is left of its image. “
The security official said Lebanese factions have yet to display their ability to handle these challenges, as they fear each other more than the “foreign threat that is violently knocking the nation’s door.”
