The Taif Agreement has not been implemented, and the most appropriate option is for the state to extend its authority over its entire territory. I adhere to the Taif Agreement because it stopped a war and has not been tried in order to know its merits and whether it has flaws. The Lebanese state must implement the Taif Agreement in the full sense of the word and then search for amendments if necessary.

There must be people like Nawaf Salam and the removal of the paralyzing deep state in Lebanon. Bashar al-Assad fell in Syria but he did not fall in Lebanon, and he still rules through his apparatuses that were raised in Lebanon within the deep state. Before the problem of weapons and the state's exclusive control over the decision of war and peace is resolved, anything is in vain.

The President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam are trying to implement Taif, but they cannot implement it amid a deep state that has ruled Lebanon for 30 years. They could not change a university president or a financial public prosecutor because there is a mafia ruling Lebanon from among the sectarian leaders.
